Labor Links

Since there are so many angles I could cover, I had to narrow it down to 3.
1. Illegal immigrants and how they influence the labor movement, the push for tighter immigration/labor restrictions.
2. Women in the workforce and how there is still a strong movement to gain equal pay, fair hiring practices etc.
3. Unionization and how it affects the labor movement.



Here are a few links I would like to share with you:

This is a link I like simply for some legalities:

www.law.cornell.edu/topics/Table_Labor.htm

This is a link to a great site that discusses unions and how the movement is is full swing, useful articles and info on the push to unionize America. It has some useful links, info and stats on unions in America.
www.aflcio.org


This site outlines some womens issues, it seems pretty good and it has some useful links on it for some history and organizations that support womens labor rights:
