Justice for farm workers! How to support farm workers from around the country as they organize for justice If you ate today, you are connected to a farm worker. Most of the food in the United States is handpicked by farm workers. These workers earn very low wages, suffer exposure to pesticides, lack many labor rights and in many cases are victims of physical and verbal abuse.
