Description: Thirty short stories of immigrant workers from many countries of origin describe the types of jobs immigrants hold and the conditions under which they work to heighten awareness and encourage action.

It is part of a larger initiative called Student Research for Action sponsored by nonprofit What Kids Can Do.
