Patricia | Campos Medina | Labor Relations Law and History | displaced and uprooted stories | This project seeks to elevate the stories of workers with TPS (Temporary Protective Status) who despite living in temporality, have engaged in social movement organizing, have participated in non-traditional political mobilization and have become agents for their own struggle for permanency and citizenship rights. It will also explore the engagement of TPS workers in the struggle for immigrant worker justice and union organizing. The survey interview questionnaire covers three dimensions of belonging, or what Campos-Medina 2019 describes as Bounded Integration: (1) Social Economic Status, (2) Civic and Social Movement Engagement, and (3) Collective Group Identity.
