Show Notes
New Orleans Mardi Gras cleanup workers, including unhoused individuals, faced delayed payments and harsh conditions. Despite logging long hours, they received checks up to five weeks after their last shifts, violating federal and state laws. Advocates at the Workers Center pushed for faster payments and better working conditions, but workers still reported health issues and considered skipping next years cleanup unless the city improves its organization and support.
