The United States Department of Labor is partnering with Mexican Consulates across the country, including in Indiana, to ensure worker protection. Juan Manuel Solana Morales says some Mexicans who come to the United States to work, often don’t know about all of their rights. “Sadly, we have detected that when we have new immigrants, they have different laws, different knowledge, different culture,” said Juan Manuel Solana Morales. “And, when they arrive here in the United States, sometimes they don’t understand the kind of rights that they have.” Morales is the Consul of Mexico in Indianapolis.
