Workers Speak from the Heart

"Like many other immigrant parents, I am very frustrated and sad. I can't support my family on one job. I need to work day and night; my children and many others don't have the attention of their parents. They take to the streets and get into trouble."
-- Carlos Vargas

"I am a single mother of three children. Even with my two jobs, I can't keep up with paying for the necessities of life; I always have more bills."
-- Candida Gomes

"I work in Burlington and have applied for years to transfer to a full-time job in downtown Boston. We want notice of these jobs, and to bid them by seniority."
-- Ana Lucia Pareja
