Death and Dismissal of Mexican and US Workers (Zoom event)
July 19, 2020 @ 6:00 pm
Free
The attack on US and Mexican woerkers 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.
Sponsored by the LCLAA Sacramento Chapter as part of 2020 San Francisco LaborFest:
Initial Speakers:
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
Guest Speaker from California soon to announce.
