Casino
Workers:
Tribal casinos have been springing up throughout
California and now employ thousands of workers, many
of them immigrants. Because the tribes are sovereign
nations, the workers are not protected by federal labor
laws and lack important legal protections. CLUE-CA leaders,
in full respect for tribal rights, call upon tribal
leaders and California legislators to ensure that casino
workers have living wages, health benefits and basic
rights. READ MORE
Ports:
Millions of pounds of goods travel through
California ports. Current operating systems at the ports

to participate in a creative community-labor coalition
fighting for fair and healthy standards and practices
at the ports. READ MORE

immigrant families facing unjust deportation. READ
