Nail salon technicians work hard to keep New York City looking great. But many are recent immigrants unfamiliar with their labor rights and how to protect their health in the workplace.
To address this issue, CUP created a fold-out poster with Adhikaar and designers Welcome Workshop, Healthy Salons For All. The poster will be distributed through the citywide Healthy Nail Salon campaign.

The poster was also mentioned in The Brian Lehrer Show interview with Unvarnished author Sarah Maslin Nir and featured in a video report by New Tang Dynasty Television.
