Migrant Justice organizers across Turtle Island have fought to create workplace protections, benefits, access to services, and full status for undocumented and precarious status workers.
In the face of cutbacks, privatization, and forced displacement around the globe, and anti-immigrant policies in Canada, we continue to build a community-labour vision to ensure that the rights of the most vulnerable and precarious members of the working class continue to be fore-fronted during May Day, and within all struggles for justice.
************
AI-JEN POO has been organizing immigrant women workers in New York since 1996. She was the Lead Organizer for Domestic Workers United (DWU), an organization of nannies, housekeepers and elderly caregivers in New York organizing for power, respect, fair labor standards and to help build a movement to end oppression for all. In July 2010 Domestic Workers United won the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights that guarantees basic work standards and protections for nannies, caregivers, and housekeepers. DWU helped to organize the first national meeting of domestic workers organizations at the US Social Forum in 2007, which resulted in the formation of the National Domestic Workers Alliance of which Ai-Jen is now National Co-Chair. Ai-jen also serves on the Board of New York Jobs with Justice, Social Justice Leadership, the Labor Advisory Board at Cornell ILR School and the Coordinating Committee of Grassroots Global Justice.
