• This Labor Day, Remember the Farmworkers Who Sustain You

    As Labor Day rolls around, as the American people once again gather to enjoy family picnics and evening cookouts, AFOP encourages everyone to take a moment to appreciate the farmworkers who worked extremely hard to help deliver to tables across the nation the delicious food we enjoy. Through extreme heat and numbing cold, through waking before dawn and working well into the evening, through pesticide exposure and abuse by unscrupulous employers, these workers provide us what we eat every day. Every day. So, let’s make it a point this Labor Day to recognize the crucial, elemental role that farmworkers play in preserving our society, our way of life, and to acknowledge that they, too, are deserving of a day without labor. Ironically, most will be working Monday … sustaining us.

Immigrants, and farmworkers particularly, make great contributions to the United States. It is time these individuals have a chance to adjust their status.
