Figures from the U.S. Department of Labor show that low-wage or marginalized workers are more likely to be injured on the job and suffer more work-related medical conditions than better-paid workers. Despite an increasingly hostile organizing climate, market globalization, and corporate downsizing, significant progress has been made in organizing marginalized workers. A multifaceted, comprehensive organizing strategy, incorporating union-building strategies that include (but are not limited to) safety and health, must be used by unions to successfully organize marginalized workers and obtain the first contract.
美国劳工部的数据显示，与高收入工人相比，低薪或边缘化工人在工作中受伤的可能性更高，患与工作相关疾病的情况也更多。尽管组织工会的环境日益恶劣、市场全球化以及企业裁员，但在组织边缘化工人方面仍取得了重大进展。工会必须采用多方面、全面的组织战略，纳入包括（但不限于）安全与健康在内的工会建设战略，才能成功组织边缘化工人并获得首份合同。
