Wisconsin Superior Health Linen Workers Struggling To Form Union - 06/28/07

By Doug Cunningham

UNITE-HERE is helping Latino workers in their effort to organize at Superior Health Linens in Wisconsin’s capital city. Workers like Carlos Torres make about ten dollars an hour with no health insurance or sick leave. Torres, speaking here through an interpretor at a public hearing in Madison, says the company is using fear and intimidation to prevent workers from organizing.

[Torres]: "It's been really difficult because there's been a lot of fear for people, for people being fired or something being done to them."
