Roberto Ceniceros who writes for Comp Time, a blog publilshed by Business Insurance, does a great job of illuminating just a few of the complexities that arise when courts are charged with determining benefits for immigrant workers in his recent post titled Immigrant Workers and Benefit Complexities.
Reading Mr. Ceniceros' post made me think again of an issue that I posted on last week, Deadliest Jobs in America, which mentions that hispanics, or latinos, are most at risk for dying while on the job.
On a similar note, having recently watched the documentary movie titled Food Inc., I am now more aware of a plethora of issues that are directly related to our food industry, specifically the issues related to farm workers. The movie is alarming on many levels and I recommend you watch it if you'd like a real eye-opening reality check on our food system and the way we think about food. One of the major issues the movie focuses on, though, are the problems that arise out of factory farming and the hazards that farm workers face. I defifnitely don't recommend you watch the movie while eating a fast food meal from any of the major fast food restaurants. It won't be a pleasant meal.
