Immigrant groups from and around the country are organizing a boycott
of Western Union. 150 groups launched boycotts last month. They say
that workers transferring money to their families are being gouged by
large fees and
unfair exchange rates. This criticism is exacerbated by Western Union's
poor track record of investing in immigrant communities. Today they
launch their campaign in Oakland, California.

Eric Klein has more on the situation.
