  • Hey, Eric, thank you a lot for this actualy video about our food & our life, which we have, I'm sorry so much in connection with this situation, because feel myself robbed & deceived.

  • Hey friend, I Like your video! Plz like, comment, and sub mine too! I will do the same for you!! Stay in touch! Cheers~~!! :)

  • zack de la rocha wrote a song about this called, i think, "ciw why."

    and i wish this clip talked more about the ciw and whats going on with them.

  • Everyone should get a fair wage. Good awareness video. Thank you. Peace!!!

  • russttu: your logic sounds solid and it would be if the numbers weren't already out. The press has documented that in the 5 agreements this powerful little farmworker organization from Florida has negotiated with (not the ranchers but) the large volume purchasers (big brands like Taco Bell, Subway, Burger King), it cost on average $250,000 to increase the pay of these tomato pickers at the bottom of the supply chain by 75%. 250K - that's it! per purchaser/firm. Win-win & no one's losin a job

  • Eric,

    I applaud you for advocating for better working conditions for these people, but you do realize that your overall food goals of promoting food that is organic, local and not from a fast food retailer is in direct conflict with the ability to keep and pay these workers. The more expensive the food, the less is purchased and the fewer workers are needed to grow it.  You basically advocating for the firing of the very workers your claiming to support.
