I remember the grape boycott in support of Caesar Chavez and the California farmworkers. Give us the signal and we’ll do it again.

Within just months of one another, the Democratic governors of California & Maine have each vetoed bills that’d have enabled or made it easier for farmworkers to unionize.

You're the closest thing to a leader in this thread, how about you give the signal?

We need to follow the lead of the farmworkers themselves. But we can begin by people in California and Maine contacting their governors to protest their vetoes.

But the US is a "Democracy" (no, it's a Plutocracy) and is all about "freedom". Form the unions people, you don't need permission from your corrupt government which needs to be replaced. Allowing them to dictate what you can do is the real problem with the world today.

Here in WA, our state legislature has a bipartisan sponsored bill in committee that wants to force farm workers to work 50 hrs / week before they get overtime during peak harvest seasons I don’t know why farm workers should be exempt from any standard labor regulations
