WorkRise Shorts: Economic Security for Low-Wage Immigrant Manicurists with Lisa Fu

December 12, 2023


The nail salon sector is a multibillion-dollar industry in the United States, primarily made up of small businesses staffed by immigrants and refugees. California Healthy Nail Salon Collaborative executive director Lisa Fu discusses her WorkRise-funded research that examines two specific approaches to elevate the industry—high-road training partnerships and sectoral bargaining—and offers insight into how unions, community partners, workers, and owners can use these strategies to move forward.
