Hello John,

(Español abajo)

Another video in our new series, “Below the Line: Stories from Low Wage Workers in the South,” is now available - click here to watch it now!

In this third episode we hear from Marino, a farm worker in North Carolina. He tells us, “If all types of work here in the United States received a fair wage, we would all benefit.”

Some crops are harder than others, and there are good days and bad days with every harvest. In particular, “Tobacco is very hard work, because of the chemicals that they put on the tobacco. It’s really bad for you to be absorbing those chemicals.” That’s why, Marino explains, “The most important thing we can do is get organized and demand fair work and fair pay for all of us who have low-paying jobs.”

Thank you for taking the time to listen to Marino’s story. Together we can spread the word on worker’s rights and grow the movement for economic justice. Learn more and watch all the videos on our website.

Best,

United for a Fair Economy

 


Hola John,

Ya está disponible otro video de nuestra nueva serie, "Debajo de la línea: Historias de trabajadores de bajos salarios en el sur". ¡Haga clic aquí para verlo ahora!

En este tercer episodio escuchamos a Marino, un trabajador agrícola en Carolina del Norte. Sabiamente comparte: “A todo tipo de trabajo aquí en los Estados Unidos se les da un precio justo, todos nos beneficiamos”.

Algunas cosechas son más difíciles que otras, y hay días buenos y días malos con cada cosecha. En particular, “El tabaco es un trabajo muy pesado por los químicos también le ponen al tabaco. Eso es malísimo para uno, andar absorbiendo esos químicos”. Por eso, explica Marino, “lo importante es eso, organizarse y exigir para que sea un trabajo justo o un pago justo para todos aquellos que tienen esos tipos de trabajo”.

Gracias por tomarse el tiempo de escuchar la historia de Marino. Juntos podemos correr la voz sobre los derechos de los trabajadores y hacer crecer el movimiento por la justicia económica. Ver el video.

Sinceramente,

Unidos por una Economía Justa
