Short description: Drivers who bring workers to their jobs
Raiteros are drivers who transport groups of low-wage workers to their jobs for a fee. The word is a spanglish neologism derived from ride.[1] It means "someone who makes a living by giving people a ride". Raiteros are most commonly used by immigrant farmworkers and workers at distant factories or warehouses.[2][3] The services often are illegal and charge exploitative fees of the workers.[4][5] In Chicago and in parts of Central New Jersey, raiteros play an expanded role in selecting employees and paying them on behalf of the employer or temp agency.[4]
