"Baltimore Bridge Collapse: Mourning Victims and Safety Concerns"

TL;DR Summary
Latino workers in Baltimore are too afraid to take on jobs rebuilding the Francis Scott Key Bridge after six migrants died in its collapse last month. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of construction workers, particularly migrant workers, and has put a spotlight on their treatment and the need for better safety provisions. Labor experts point out that it will likely be migrant workers who rebuild the bridge, and there are calls for better salaries and protections for these workers. Organizations are advocating for work permits and visas for the families of the victims, as well as a full investigation into the bridge collapse.
