Q:  Is exposing this secret harmful to the immigrant worker?

    The overall aim of our campaign is to protect the immigrant worker by exposing their exploitation, ensuring their job security and safety and properly place the responsibility on the unscrupulous parties to this form of modern day slavery.

    Many immigrant workers depend on their job for the money to support their families here and abroad.  To this end many undocumented workers fall prey to misclassification because it allows them to keep working.

    Many construction workers employed by contractors receive $3-$7 more on average than their misclassified counterparts.

    Unfortunately many immigrant workers who are misclassified do not see this disparity of pay or it's long term consequences (for not paying their individual taxes, etc.) as exploitation.  Rather, misclassified immigrant workers are forced to sign a contract not in their own language and without an understanding of all the implications and consequences farther down the road.
