A vision for the future / Una visión para el futuro

November 18, 2021 By Joanna Welborn

– Farm Labor Organizing Committee members, farmworkers

That the [growers] association supports us,  too​ 

That all the houses have washers, dryers, and air conditioning that work​ 

That the boss cares for and maintains the house​ 

That we aren’t charged for our luggage when we arrive​ 

That the drivers drive slowly, and for fewer hours, so that the trip is safe and there are no accidents​ 

That we aren’t made to eat at restaurants that we don’t want to eat at during the trip​ 

That we’re able to change buses, because sometimes we are badly mistreated​ 

That we are treated with dignity​ 

That we don’t lose the tradition that we have built with the union​ 

That our seniority is respected when we’ve spent several seasons working, and that when the boss doesn’t want us anymore, we have a right to compensation​ 

That we have equality with those who are here because we too are residents​ 

That we have sufficient means to have a right to insurance​ 

That all the inequality that exists today ends​ 

That our rights are respected​ 

That we have a secure future​ 

That there is compensation for our families should we be injured​ 

That there is a just pension for workers hired from different countries​
