Labor Days brings American to not only thinking about their jobs but other people's jobs as well. Some of the most grueling jobs are in the food industry, especially the produce industry. This is the time to think of them.
A lot has been made about American produce in these past few months.Keep in mid though that workers have some of the worst conditions. They are regularly denied meal breaks along with they and their families being put up in squalid "housing" Think shacks with no indoor plumbing.Then there's the threat of immigration and ICEready to take them off to detention camps heaven only knows where.
What we can do - not just for Labor Day but for all year round - is stand by them. They;re doing jobs no American would want to do. Protest.Bolster.Supprt.
Make Labor Day not just a once a year remembrance. Make it all year round.Think of those who pick your fruits and veggies.
