An Analysis of We Count!’s Wage Theft Cases

We Count! was established in the Spring of 2006 as a multi-ethnic community organization based in Homestead, Florida. We Count! has worked to achieve social and economic justice by bringing immigrants and workers together to inform them about their civil and labor rights, and how to take actions that will improve their lives. Due to South Florida’s increasing numbers of immigrant laborers and the rise of unfair labor practices, threats and actual violent acts have been committed on day laborers, in March of 2008 We Count! opened a non-profit Community Worker Center for day laborers, located in southwest Miami-Dade County. The center provides an organized and safe place where day laborers can gather and businesses and home owners can seek workers. We Count! and its Worker Center support human rights, including labor rights, of South Florida’s immigrant population.
