 425-6575\n\nJose Cruz worked as a laborer for Il H. Jun, a roofing and 
 general contractor doing business in the Bay Area as Jun's Associates, Inc. 
  Mr. Cruz filed a claim with the California Labor Commissioner and received 
 an Award for $6213.11 for unpaid wages, penalties, and interest.\n \n"My 
 employer kept saying he would pay me, but he either didn't at all, or would 
 pay me with checks that bounced," states Jose Cruz, a day laborer from 
 Chiapas, Mexico who finds work off of San Francisco street corners.\n 
 \nThis picket exemplifies how day laborers and domestic workers, through 
 their workers center, the San Francisco Day Labor Program /Women's 
 Collective, organize themselves to hold exploitative employers 
 accountable.\n \n"We want to make sure that, despite this climate of hate 
 against undocumented workers, employers get the message that they have to 
 pay us for our work and we must be treated with dignity," says Jose 
 Ramirez, a day laborer leader with the San Francisco Day Labor Program 
 /Women's Collective .\n \nLa Raza Centro Legal, in San Francisco, 
 represented Mr. Cruz in his wage claim.\n\nEmployer's contact information:
