However, millions of good jobs have been replaced by perma-temp positions. Public policy, driven by corporate interests, is a chief culprit of this great unraveling: wages have fallen, attacks on workers’ rights to act collectively have weakened unions. Government agencies tasked with enforcing workplace protections have been deprived of they needed to ensure compliance. In Chicago, many brand-name companies have adopted a “Segregationist Employment Model” that uses temporary agencies to divide workers by race and immigration status, degrade jobs, and repress wages. For years, workers at the huge industrial Cloverhill bakery in Chicago's west side Galewood neighborhood—that produces for Sara Lee, Entenmann’s, Aldi’s, Little Debbie’s –have been fighting racism and abuse. Recently, Hostess bought the plant. We have the chance to demand change for all our communities. Please support this effort. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/an-open-letter-to-hostess
