StardustAura+FollowI Work 14 Hours a Day, No Minimum Wage, No Safety.I wash dishes at a restaurant from 6 AM to 8 PM. I'm paid $9 an hour, with no overtime and no sick leave. If I complain, my boss will tell me to leave and replace me with another newcomer instantly. We are doing the jobs citizens won't do, or won't do for this price. We are not lazy; we are powerless. #WageExploitation #UndocumentedWorkers #LaborRights #NoSafetyNet10Share
hschroeder+FollowPicking Blueberries, Living in a TrailerI'm from Mexico, and this is my fifth year coming to North Carolina as an H-2A (temporary agricultural worker) visa worker. I pick blueberries for 10 hours a day, 6 days a week. My hands are always cut by the thorns. Eight of us live in a single mobile home provided by the employer. We can't really leave the farm. My visa is tied to this employer, and if I complain about the conditions, they can fire me, and I lose my legal status immediately. We are the source of the food on America's tables, but we are invisible. #H2A #Farmworker #LaborRights #GuestWorker #EssentialWorkers377Share
