We use the conceptual framing of workplace dignity, worth that is acknowledged based on performance of job responsibilities, to explore Latino immigrants\u2019 experiences during the early months of the pandemic. A qualitative study was conducted with La Cl\u00ednica del Pueblo (La Cl\u00ednica), a community health center serving low-income Latino immigrants. From June to December 2020, we conducted in-depth video interviews with 29 Latino immigrant clients to explore pandemic-related challenges, including workplace changes, discriminatory experiences, and effects on health. We conducted thematic analysis using Dedoose software. Nearly half of participants were undocumented immigrants. Most participants were unemployed or underemployed due to the pandemic and 26\u201349 years of age; one-third were still working, and one-quarter were 50 years or older. About half were cisgender women and two were transgender women. Employed participants experienced a lack of dignity through being socially isolated and stigmatized at work; receiving no compensation for their extra labor or for sick leave; and experiencing discriminatory labor practices. Unemployed participants experienced a lack of dignity in being the first to lose their jobs without government support; losing self-esteem; and not being rehired. Participants associated denial of dignity with worsening health conditions and increased anxiety and depression. Our study suggests that denial of workplace dignity\u2014through job loss, underemployment, and poor working conditions\u2014is linked to adverse health outcomes for Latino immigrants. More research should recognize workplace dignity as an important social determinant of health.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph21070855","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,3]],"date-time":"2024-07-03T06:04:18Z","timestamp":1719986658000},"page":"855","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Dignity of Work and at Work: The Relationship between Workplace Dignity and Health among Latino Immigrants during the COVID-19 Pandemic"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9611-1714","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thespina J.","family":"Yamanis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of International Service, American University, 4400 Massachusetts Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20016, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Samhita","family":"Rao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of International Service, American University, 4400 Massachusetts Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20016, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1520-8886","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexandra J.","family":"Reichert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anthropology, Vanderbilt University, 2301 Vanderbilt Place, Nashville, TN 37235, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2887-8571","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rachel","family":"Haws","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of International Health, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, 615 N.
