11 Day Laborers Union
On a corner of St. Andrews place, Mario Martinez and Pablo Alvarado, organizers for the Day Laborers Union, a project of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, argue with a group of day laborers, trying to convince them that it's better to get their jobs at the site organized a few blocks away, instead of here on the corner. The workers don't want to move to the new site, and accuse Martinez and Alvarado of trying to take their jobs.
