Worker center

A worker center is an organization which represents immigrant and other workers in the United States who are poorly represented or unrepresented by mainstream unions.

Worker centers include Domestic Workers United which has represented housekeepers and nannies in New York and Hawaii; the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, active in Florida vegetable growing; and the Workers Defense Project which represents construction workers in Texas. The workers are mostly immigrants from Latin America, many undocumented.
