Farmworkers Deserve Equal Workplace Rights!
Sunday March 31
"Farmworkers do the difficult and debilitating work that brings food to our tables every day -- and they do it for poverty wages" (http://www.bakersfieldcalifornian.com/opinion/ our-view/x290597523/Farmworkers-deserve-equal-job-treatment).
Farmworkers are some of our nation’s most vital workers, as their labor enables us to enjoy high quality, low-cost, fresh fruits and vegetables all year round. Despite farmworkers’ economic and cultural contributions to the communities where they live and work, they continue to be some of the lowest paid, least protected, and unhealthiest workers in the United States. However, together we can raise the living and working conditions farmworkers. All workers deserve dignity and equal treatment in the workplace and in society. Join the movement for justice in agriculture.
