Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting in the early 1900s, many thousands of native Filipinos were conscripted as laborers in American West Coast agricultural fields and Alaska salmon canneries. There, they found themselves confined to exploitative low-wage jobs in racially segregated workplaces as well as subjected to vigilante violence and other forms of ethnic persecution. In time, though, Filipino workers formed political organizations and affiliated with labor unions to represent their interests and to advance their struggles for class, race, and gender-based social justice. Union by Law analyzes the broader social and legal history of Filipino American workers’ rights-based struggles, culminating in the devastating landmark Supreme Court ruling, Wards Cove Packing Co. v. Atonio (1989). Organized chronologically, the book begins with the US invasion of the Philippines and the imposition of colonial rule at the dawn of the twentieth century. The narrative then follows the migration of Filipino workers to the United States, where they mobilized for many decades within and against the injustices of American racial capitalist empire that the Wards Cove majority willfully ignored in rejecting their longstanding claims. This racial innocence in turn rationalized judicial reconstruction of official civil rights law in ways that significantly increased the obstacles for all workers seeking remedies for institutionalized racism and sexism. A reclamation of a long legacy of racial capitalist domination over Filipinos and other low-wage or unpaid migrant workers, Union by Law also tells a story of noble aspirational struggles for human rights over several generations and of the many ways that law was mobilized both to enforce and to challenge race, class, and gender hierarchy at work.

Book Synopsis Philip Vera Cruz by : Craig Scharlin
Download or read book Philip Vera Cruz written by Craig Scharlin and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filipino farmworkers sat down in the grape fields of Delano, California, in 1965 and began the strike that brought about a dramatic turn in the long history of farm labor struggles in California. Their efforts led to the creation of the United Farm Workers union under Cesar Chavez, with Philip Vera Cruz as its vice-president and highest-ranking Filipino officer. Philip Vera Cruz (1904–1994) embodied the experiences of the manong generation, an enormous wave of Filipino immigrants who came to the United States between 1910 and 1930. Instead of better opportunities, they found racial discrimination, deplorable living conditions, and oppressive labor practices. In his deeply reflective and thought-provoking oral memoir, Vera Cruz explores the toll these conditions took on both families and individuals. Craig Scharlin and Lilia V. Villanueva met Philip Vera Cruz in 1974 as volunteers in the construction of Agbayani Village, the United Farm Workers retirement complex in Delano, California. This oral history, first published in 1992, is the product of hundreds of hours of interviews. Elaine H. Kim teaches Asian American studies at the University of California, Berkeley, and is the author of Asian American Literature: An Introduction to the Writings and Their Social Context.
Book Synopsis Out of this Struggle by : Luis V. Teodoro
Download or read book Out of this Struggle written by Luis V. Teodoro and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2019-09-30 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his preface, Danilo E. Ponce describes this book as an "unblinking look at Filipino history in Hawaii." Written from a Filipino viewpoint, the book commemorates seventy five years of collective existence of this ethnic group in the Aloha State. It examines Filipino experience in Hawaii in the context of Philippine history and culture. This is not a simple book, for its subject is complex. For example, there were three waves of Filipino immigration to Hawaii — each wave bringing people of differing socio-economic, educational, and geopolitical backgrounds. It would be misleading to speak of one homogeneous group called "Filipinos" being affected at any given time. Implicit in Out of This Struggle is the human drama that underlies events. Hawaii's need for labor promised the Filipinos the possibility of bettering their economic status, but plantation wages proved so low that entire families needed to work to live, limiting their access to education. Out of this frustration came their active and telling role in the organization of the IL WU and the labor strife of the 1920s. As Hawaii's Filipinos look to the future beyond 1981, they find in their community many and varied elements-proof of vitality, of a community trying to identify issues, examine events, and understand itself. Out of This Struggle will contribute to that understanding. This book is one of the projects of the Filipino 75th Anniversary Commemoration Commission, which was created by the 1977 Hawaii State Legislature, through Enabling Act 181, to oversee the year-long celebration of the arrival of the first Filipinos in Hawaii in 1906. The idea of the Commission itself came from a group called the Hawaii Filipino-American Community Foundation, which, as early as 1976, had thought of the need to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Filipino immigration to Hawaii not only through ceremony, but more appropriately, through more permanent means. One of these means was to be a book which would give its readers some understanding of what the past 75 years have meant for the Filipinos in Hawaii. At the same time, 'the members of the Foundation felt that such a book would adequately mirror the changes that have taken place in the Filipino community, as well as lay to rest the prevalent view that the old stereotypes still apply. The members of the Education (Printed) Committee of the Commission, whose task was to oversee the production of this book, are, fittingly, also members of the Foundation.

Book Synopsis Understanding the Filipino Worker and Organization by : Ateneo de Manila University Press
Download or read book Understanding the Filipino Worker and Organization written by Ateneo de Manila University Press and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyday, two-thirds of Filipinos spend eight to twelve hours earning a living and will do so for most of our lives. Work and organizations are therefore vital factors that shape our well-being and quality of life. On the other hand, the success of an organization is also dependent on how well it can harness its human resources. To know and understand organizational theory then is vital, but, although a plethora of Western theories on workers and organizations exist, they have not always been applicable in the Philippine context.
Book Synopsis Workplace Rights for Immigrants in BC by : Habiba Zaman
Download or read book Workplace Rights for Immigrants in BC written by Habiba Zaman and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2002 changes to the Employment Standards Act reduced the enforcement and monitoring role of the government, undermined workers' knowledge of their rights by removing the requirement to post the ESA in workplaces, reduced employment-related benefits, restricted worker control over their schedules and hours of work, and slashed the minimum wage for first-time workers, many of whom are recent imm [...] To provide a snapshot of Filipinos in BC, the paper Survey data and narratives then presents an analysis of the demographic profile reflected in the survey, including some of the challenges respondents from filipino immigrant faced. [...] According to BC labour researcher David Fairey, "This is the first time that a specific group of employees, by virtue of membership in a union, have been excluded by the Act [ESA]."20 According to Fairey, this has several major implications, and two are particularly pertinent to this study: the provisions of a collective agreement may be below the minimum standards set out in the ESA; and, it enco [...] In fact, the survey, as analysed in the next section, shows that the changes to the ESA exacerbate the economic insecurity already experienced by recent immigrants and other vulnerable workers. [...] Several scholars have demonstrated that immigrants in Canada encounter racism in the labour market as well as in the workplace.26 As the goal of this study was to examine the changes to the ESA and its impacts upon immigrants' economic security, this issue was intentionally avoided in the survey.
Book Synopsis Marketing Dreams, Manufacturing Heroes by : Anna Romina Guevarra
Download or read book Marketing Dreams, Manufacturing Heroes written by Anna Romina Guevarra and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2009-09-30 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a globalized economy that is heavily sustained by the labor of immigrants, why are certain nations defined as "ideal" labor resources and why do certain groups dominate a particular labor force? The Philippines has emerged as a lucrative source of labor for countries around the world. In Marketing Dreams, Manufacturing Heroes Anna Romina Guevarra focuses on the Philippines—which views itself as the "home of the great Filipino worker"—and the multilevel brokering process that manages and sends workers worldwide. She unravels the transnational production of Filipinos as ideal migrant workers by the state and explores how race, color, class, and gender operate. The experience of Filipino nurses and domestic workers—two of the country's prized exports—is at the core of the research, which utilizes interviews with employees at labor brokering agencies, state officials from governmental organizations in the Philippines, and nurses working in the United States. Guevarra's multisited ethnography reveals the disciplinary power that state and employment agencies exercise over care workers—managing migration and garnering wages—to govern social conduct, and brings this isolated yet widespread social problem to life.
