The USA is one of many countries in the world that has a guest worker scheme. While these schemes vary from country to country, the reality is they make workers highly vulnerable to exploitation. The National Guest worker Alliance (NGA) in the USA is a membership organisation of guest workers that fights across industries to win rights and protections for all workers. Currently it is fighting against the fast food giant McDonalds for the right to organise and against victimisation. The NGA call for a global day of action on 6 June is being supported by unions around the world as well as the AFL-CIO, IUF, and ITUC. For video click here.
