Boycott Driscoll's

Some Driscoll's berry pickers say they're paid just $6 a day.

Now they're asking consumers to #BoycottDriscolls:https://t.co/oa3UZjXyyz

Since 2013, some workers launched a series of walkouts, picket lines and lawsuits over alleged labor violations. In 2015, one of their lawsuits went all the way up to the Washington Supreme Court, where they won a unanimous decision that set a precedent ensuring paid rest breaks statewide. That same year, massive protests broke out at Driscoll’s farms down in San Quintín Valley in Mexico. Since then, Driscoll’s farmworkers have been organizing together on both sides of the border.

  Democracy Now!

The $6 a day figure comes from the fact that the pickers are paid by the pound of fruit, not by the hour. If the crop is poor where they're picking, they don't bring in much.

How far have we not come since the days of Grapes of Wrath?
