May 12, 2001 -- Attorney General Eliot Spitzer today announced that his office will form a task force to investigate allegations of labor violations involving day laborers, predominately Hispanic immigrants, in Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester and Putnam counties. The task force will be charged with ensuring that workers receive the wages and other protections to which they are entitled. [Forget that they are in the country illegally.] Because of these concerns, the Attorney General praised the Suffolk County Legislature's passage of a resolution in March to create a Community Opportunity Center that would serve as a secure place where day laborers can seek employment. Spitzer urged the Legislature to take prompt steps to move the measure forward. [A haven for lawbreakers - workers and contractors alike.] |
