Joe Llspy, one of the Danbury Eleven, was looking for a day's work in Kennedy Park Friday morning.
The 'eleven' were day laborers rounded up and arrested by Danbury police in what became a legal battle between the city and Yale law students. The workers won a payout from Danbury's insurance company.
Llspy, who has lived in the United States for ten years, said he works for anywhere between $10 and $20 an hour. Demolition work pays the most, because of the difficulty of using a jackhammer.
Llspy said he stays in Danbury, despite the 'arrest' because of the work.
