I thought I would share a recent Daily Tar Heel Article regarding the Latino community in Carrboro and the Human Rights Center.
"UNC sociology professor Judith Blau founded a human rights center to provide resources to Abbey Court families. She is leading conversations to find a safer location for workers.
With the support of Elsa Ally Dena, new property manager, Abbey Court has hosted two community meetings where locals have worked to solve issues facing residents and neighbors, including the day laborer site.
“In the best of possible worlds, there would be a day laborers’ center for employers to come and register, because there’s a lot of exploitation and wage theft,” Blau said.
Last week, Blau met with Carrboro’s Community and Economic Development Director James Harris and officials at the UNC Center on Poverty, Work and Opportunity to combine resources toward finding a solution."
