Day laborers in New York and New Jersey are mobilizing to offer their most valuable asset, their labor, for communities that have been damaged by Hurricane Sandy, according to a news release. Relief brigades will include offering hands on cleanup work, distributing supplies, and education for other workers about health and safety hazards on the job.
