Death and Dismissal of Mexican and US Workers – Labor Fest

LCLAA (Labor Council for Latin American Advancement) Sacramento Chapter participates with the 2020 Labor Fest on a live report with:

Irene De B – Gerente de Relaciónes Públicas con Líderes Campesinas, and National Agricultural Workers Research

Amadeo Sumano – Current Farmworker of Oxnard, California

Bonofacio Martinez, and Lorenzo Rodriguez of Sindicato Independiente Nacional Democratic de Jornaleros Agricolas (SINDJA) – Driscoll Boycott Organizers

Israel Cervantes – GM Workers Union, Silau, Guanajuato, Mexico

The attack on US and Mexican workers will be the focus of this LaborFest event. Workers on both sides of the border face the Covid pandemic and
attacks on their labor and human rights. These workers face multi-nationals who ignore and violate health and safety laws and labor laws with impunity.
There is no enforcement of labor rights and health and safety for workers on both sides of the border for these billion dollar corporations who have captured
the very agencies that are supposed to enforce the laws to protect working people.

This forum will hear from the workers themselves who are fighting back for their rights and their lives in the face of the deadly pandemic.
