Rafa encourages other farm workers to stand up for their rights after CA state judge orders back pay for 4 worker leaders Gerawan illegally refused to recall because they backed the UFW - Hi, my name is Rafa Marquez. I am a farm worker. I worked at Gerawan Farming where I and my colleagues fought to improve the conditions of our work areas and where we were discriminated against by the company. But thanks to the Labor Law that has followed the process we have had improvements and we managed to win the case where we were discriminated against. We are celebrating that victory, that is why I am sending this message to all the workers of all companies not only at Gerawan Farming. Do not allow yourself to be intimidated for fighting for your rights. The law takes time because many things need to be investigated. It is a long process but in the end, it has good results. Si se puede! #WeFeedYou #ConUnionTuTrabajoValeMas

Hola, mi nombre es Rafa Marquez. Yo soy trabajador del campo. Trabaje en Gerawan Farming donde yo y mis companeros estuvimos luchando para mejorar las condiciones de nuestras areas de trabajo donde fuimos discriminados por la compañia. Pero gracias a la ley laboral que ha seguido el proceso hemos tenido mejoras y se logro ganar el caso donde fuimos discriminados. Estamos celebrando esa victoria por eso les mando este mensaje a todos los compañeros de todas las compañias no nomas de Gerawan Farming. No se dejen intimidar que luchen por sus derechos. La ley tarda porque se hacen muchas investigaciones. Es un proceso largo pero al final de cuentas tiene buenos resultados. Si se puede! #WeFeedYou #ConUnionTuTrabajoValeMas

I worked at the Gerawan Farming company and I was discriminated against by the company for my union activities, for fighting for my rights and for helping my co workers fight for their rights as well. They got rid of me, but thank God that there is a law that protects us. We fought the case through the ALRB and we won the case. Fellow workers, Si, se puede! Do not stop fighting. We must always fight for our rights because companies will always discriminate against us. If we let them, we will always be trampled. Thank you very much. Si se puede, compañeros! #WeFeedYou #ConUnionTuTrabajoValeMas

Harvesting safflowers in Corcoran CA - Octavio just sent us this video from Corcoran CA of him & his co-workers harvesting safflowers that will be used to make the safflower oil we cook with. The next 7 days are supposed to reach 100+ degrees (107 on Friday). Octavio says they start working at 6 am so they can get as much work done before the worst of the heat hits. They usually get off at around 3 pm – and even earlier if the temperatures go above 95 degrees. Lets give a big thank you to these hard working campesinos! #WeFeedYou / Octavio nos acaba de enviar este video de Corcoran CA de él y sus compañeros cosechando cártamo que se usará para hacer el aceite de cártamo con el que cocinamos.

Por lo general, bajan alrededor de las 3 p.m. e incluso antes si las temperaturas superan los 95 grados. ¡Démosle las gracias a estos campesinos que trabajan arduamente!
