Farm Workers In WA Striking for PPE, Hazard Pay—And More Keep Joining
In this segment of By Any Means Necessary hosts Sean Black and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Edgar Franks, Washington State Political And Campaign Director at Familias Unidas por la Justicia, to talk about the hundreds of farm workers currently on strike over a lack of adequate PPE and hazard pay in Yakima Valley, Washington, how the strike evolved from a handful of disparate actions to a regional effort shutting down six agribusinesses, and how this ongoing struggle fits into the long fight for fair treatment by farm workers in this country.
