Nov 5Do you work in construction or with engineered stone?If not, do you know someone who works with engineered stone? If so, please pay attention to this alert. Engineered stone is making workers sick, and silica dust can be deadly. If you cut, grind, polish, install, or clean engineered stone (reconstituted stone), you may be inhaling dangerous silica dust. Silica dust can cause silicosis—an incurable lung disease—and increase the risk of developing lung cancer, kidney disease, and other serious health conditions. Learn about the dangers and stay protected. Special thanks to @nationalcosh for providing the informative images and for collaborating with us on this alert.Latest

About
Sur Legal Collaborative seeks to empower high-hazard-low-wage workers, immigrant workers and worker-organizers in Georgia by putting legal tools and knowledge in their hands.
Immigrants are among the most vulnerable workers in the country, often working in hazardous industries and being frequent targets of immoral employers. Though imperfect, labor laws provide recourse and can empower immigrant and low-income workers. Immigrants are further oppressed by an immigration system that creates a culture of fear and violence through ICE enforcement, detention, and deportation.
Sur’s team of attorneys and organizers are experts in immigration and labor rights. Sharing their knowledge and putting legal tools in the hands of the people is at the core of everything we do. The ultimate goal of our work is systemic change led by the communities we serve.
Sur Legal Collaborative was founded in October 2020 by attorneys, Shelly Anand and Lynn Damiano Pearson, to address the need for community-based legal advocacy at the intersection of immigrant and worker rights in Georgia and the Deep South.
