我们进行了一个小型的参与性调查，以记录职业伤害和疾病，医疗，工资问题，一般工作条件之间的150名林业工人在南部俄勒冈州谁是大多数讲西班牙语的移民来自拉丁美洲。我们采用滚雪球抽样法进行调查。调查结果显示，在接受调查的工人中，与工作有关的伤害率很高。结果还表明，许多在杰克逊和约瑟芬县获得许可的林业服务承包商可能并不总是遵守劳动法。绝大多数接受调查的工人报告说，他们害怕因报告受伤而遭到报复。H-2B签证工人和样本中的其他工人之间报告的工作条件和工资问题没有差异。这一发现表明，目前的美国劳动和健康与安全法律并没有有效地保护俄勒冈州的林业工人，由于林业工人的结构性脆弱性-他们在移民和经济地位支持的社会结构中的低定位-加剧了对报复的恐惧。需要进一步审查和改变移民政策和执法做法，这些政策和执法做法有助于建立一个具有这些固有脆弱性和权力不平衡的劳动系统。
We conducted a small participatory survey to document occupational injuries and illnesses, medical treatment, wage issues, and general working conditions among 150 forest workers in southern Oregon who are mostly Spanish-speaking immigrants from Latin America. We used snowball sampling in administering the survey. Survey results showed a high rate of job-related injury among the workers who responded to our survey. Results also suggested that many forestry services contractors licensed in Jackson and Josephine counties may not always follow labor laws. The vast majority of workers surveyed reported being fearful of retaliation for reporting injuries. There were no differences in reported working conditions and wage issues between workers with H-2B visas and other workers in the sample. This finding suggests that current US labor and health and safety laws are not effectively protecting Oregon’s forest workers, owing to forest workers’ structural vulnerability—their low positioning in social structures supported by immigration and economic status—compounded by fear of retaliation. Immigration policies and enforcement practices that contribute to creating a labor system with these inherent vulnerabilities and power imbalances need to be further examined and changed.
