ContraCosta, Feds
Federal government to day laborers: We're here to help
By Matt O'Brien Contra Costa Times Posted: 04/01/2010 02:13:52 PM PDT Updated: 04/02/2010 06:22:55 AM PDT »CONCORD — A crew of federal officials wandering into a day labor hiring zone used to mean one thing: time to leave. Not the case Thursday morning on Monument Boulevard. Armed with coffee, not handcuffs, investigators from the U.S. Department of Labor chatted warmly with Latino immigrant workers about how to find jobs without being exploited. "We're the feds, but the good ones," said Paul Ramirez, speaking in Spanish inside the Michael Chavez Center, a gathering spot for day laborers. "We're here to help workers." http://www.contracostatimes.com/poli...nclick_check=1 www.contracostatimes.com
