August 17th, 2022 – On Wednesday morning, members of the International Painters Union (IUPAT) DC77 gathered at the construction site of a new development project at Emory University. IUPAT was joined by Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights (GLAHR), Atlanta-North Georgia Labor Council, Atlanta DSA, and other community members and organizations to protest the misclassification of workers by the project’s contractor, Specialty Finishes, Inc– one of the largest painting contractors in the Metro-Atlanta area.

As construction equipment sounded in the background, organizers from IUPAT and GLAHR spoke to the crowd, calling out the mistreatment and exploitation of Latino and undocumented workers by the company.

“Many of these workers are undocumented immigrants, and these companies take advantage of that fact to misclassify them as independent contractors so they don’t get paid overtime or received benefits,” said Melanie Silverstein, an IUPAT organizer.
