By Antonia Farzan The Washington Post Tues., Aug. 7, 2018 A now-viral video shows a nail salon in chaos — a loose flip-flop on the floor, manicure stations pushed roughly to the side. Several Asian women in smocks grab at a Black woman, trying to get a grip on the straps of her tank top. One sprays her with what looks like a bottle of acetone nail polish remover. When the Black woman breaks free, a barefoot Asian woman in denim shorts raises what looks like the handle of a mop or broomstick.

During that time, she says she often worked 10-hour days, received no training on the use of potentially hazardous products and was shortchanged on her wages to the tune of $3,000 by her last employer. “For rights at work, I would say the employer probably prefers the employees didn’t know much about it,” says the 28-year-old Markham resident. That is what the Nail Technicians’ Network is now seeking to change — emulating successful efforts in places like California to organize low-wage immigrant women and encourage safer working conditions. The initiative was born out of the Parkdale Queen West Community Health Centre’s nail salon workers project, launched in 2013 to identify and tackle health concerns including exposure to toxic … [Read more...] about Nail salon network seeks to empower newcomer women on the job
