As Labor Day rolls around, let’s make it a point to recognize the crucial role that farmworkers play in preserving our society and to acknowledge that they, too, are deserving of a day without labor. - Daniel Sheehan, AFOP ED #GiveFarmworkersABreak #LaborDay2024 #LaborDayWeekend

Latinas across industries & sectors were paid 52 cents to the dollar paid to white men in 2022. This results in lost pay amounting to over 1 MILLION dollars throughout a 40-year career. Let's make our voices heard on #LatinaEqualPay Day on Oct. 25th! latinaequalpay.org

AFOP salutes on Labor Day the underappreciated, massively vital, American agricultural labor force. Farmworkers are up before dawn - on Labor Day, too - to provide us with the produce we eat every day. They must be recognized for the invaluable contribution they make to society.

Sunday, June 12 is World Day Against Child Labor – it’s time to fix our broken #ChildLabor laws. The U.S. Congress must pass the #CAREact2022 and a bill to #EndChildlaborinTobacco. The US lags behind other nations in protecting child farmworkers. #WDACL tinyurl.com/yv35w7hn

Our gratitude to @RepRoybalAllard and @RepRaulGrijalva for introducing the #CAREact2022—a bill which would provide basic #ChildLabor protections to U.S child farmworkers – protections enjoyed by all other working children. tinyurl.com/4d7y8sn4

The CARE Act of 2022 does not disrupt the way of life on family farms as it maintains current exemptions for family farms and agricultural education programs. Pass the #CAREACT2022. Thank you @RepRoybalAllard @RepRaulGrijalva for introducing this important bill!

More US child workers die in agriculture than in any other industry. Every day, 33 children are injured while working on US farms. A new bill introduced today into the US Congress would protect child farmworkers from harm. Congress should act. hrw.org/news/2022/03/3…

We support the #CareAct2022, which was introduced today by @RepRoybalAllard and @RepRaulGrijalva It’s past time for Congress to meet its moral obligation of ensuring that every working child in America enjoys equal protection under the law. Pass the #CAREACT2022.
