usatoday.com/story/opinion/2… “While the @FairFoodProgram is great for workers, it’s good for employers and retail brands, too. That’s because it has tackled longstanding human rights violations such as forced labor, child labor, physical violence and sexual assault.”

My friend nearly died of dehydration. Farmworkers like us need better protections.

Farmworkers and other manual laborers need to be better protected. Fair Food Program is trying to help both workers and businesses.
