系统性种族主义建立在对少数群体的种族剥削之上，并在COVID-19全球大流行期间进一步暴露了不平等。历史上对无证移民拉丁美洲劳工的依赖继续影响着拉丁美洲人面临的现代工作条件，如低工资，有限的福利，以及对生产力的重视超过安全，这也增加了他们对不良健康结果的风险。这篇叙述性评论旨在描述和强调系统性种族主义影响的关键风险因素，以及它如何塑造美国拉丁美洲劳工的工作和职业健康经历，以及克服障碍的策略。在这篇综述中，我们探讨了实证研究，新闻报道和政策简报，强调影响无证拉丁美洲移民劳工职业健康结果的社会因素，并综合信息，报告大流行期间经历的主要挑战，并提出改善这些群体的条件和职业健康的建议。现有文献表明，（1）在COVID-19期间，证件身份是联邦救济计划的障碍;（2）虽然被归类为必要工作人员，但工作场所条件对预防COVID-19的感染和传播有害;（3）在大流行期间，无证件的拉丁裔妇女在工作场所和家中的负担增加。建议包括在政府救济中优先考虑无证移民，并解决工作场所的个人和环境层面的压力因素，以促进包容性，减少拉丁美洲移民工人不必要的痛苦。拉丁裔劳工应受到尊严和尊重的对待，并受到工作场所的保护，因为他们在COVID-19大流行期间被指定为重要工人。
Systemic racism is built upon the racial exploitation of minorities and has been further exposed inequalities amidst the COVID-19 global pandemic. The historic reliance of undocumented migrant Latino laborers continues to influence the modern-day work conditions Latinos face such as low wages, limited benefits, and an emphasis on productivity over safety, which also increases their risk for adverse health outcomes. This narrative review aims to describe and highlight key risk factors on the impact of systemic racism and how it shapes the work and occupational health experiences of Latino laborers in the US, as well as strategies to overcome barriers. In this review, we explore empirical studies, news reports, and policy briefs that highlight the social factors impacting occupational health outcomes for undocumented Latino migrant laborers and synthesize the information to report major challenges experienced during the pandemic and propose recommendations for improving conditions and occupational health of these groups. Existing literature demonstrated that (1) documentation status was a barrier to federal relief programs during COVID-19; (2) though categorized as essential workers, workplace conditions were harmful towards preventing infection and transmission of COVID-19; and (3) there was an increased burden particularly for undocumented Latino women both in the workplace and at home during the pandemic. Recommendations include prioritization of undocumented immigrants in government relief, and addressing both individual and environmental level stressors in the workplace to promote inclusivity and reduce unnecessary suffering of Latino migrant workers. Latino laborers should be treated with dignity and respect with workplace protections as they are designated as essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
