United Farm Workers

We've got to stop Trump's farm worker wage cuts. Their H-2A rule change drastically cuts wages for H-2A farm workers and local workers alike. We filed suit in federal court to block it, but lawsuits take a long time and are very expensive. Please help. act.seiu.org/a/trumpswagecu…

Non-union workers in Watsonville CA are picking strawberries at $6 hourly wage + $2/box. “It's unfair we are making less than minimum wage, but not all companies respect the law. If we mention this to the supervisors, we are let go from our job and we need the pay.” #WeFeedYou

We’re happy to have our union contract in place. Today, #MemorialDay we'll enjoy our first paid holiday. Before we used to sit down in the house during the holidays with no pay. Today we wont be working, but we will get paid for the day. - "Keegon", apple worker, NY Wafler Farms

"Tula" shared this pic from WAs Chateau @SteMichelle where she works under a UFW contract. "It's good to work under a union contract. I get 17 paid holidays including #MemorialDay. I also get paid vacation days medical, a pension & I could speak up on the job." #WeFeedYou

Many of us are enjoying #MemorialDay with family at picnics and barbecues, but many farm workers are laboring hard to put food on our tables. Let's give a big shout out to these hard-working people. #WeFeedYou

"Javier" works in Oxnard, CA, harvesting strawberries. "I get paid by the box, so I have to move very fast. By the end of the day, my back and hands ache from all the movement." #WeFeedYou

"Julio" is pruning apple trees in Granger WA. This is exhausting work. From 7am-3pm I am climbing up and down the ladder with heavy shears to prune the trees. By the end of the day my arms and legs are exhausted from this very physical work." #WeFeedYou

"Julio" is harvesting blueberries in the Delano CA area for minimum wage. "I managed to harvest 12-14 trays of berries a day. It gets very hot with all the layers of clothing we need to wear to protect ourselves from the sun and also from scratches." #WeFeedYou

Workers are weeding young sweet potato plants in Merced County. Rosario shares, "It's not the work itself that's hard. However , standing in the heat in an open field makes the work difficult. I need to take constant water breaks to avoid dehydration." #WeFeedYou

The broccoli has been harvested in this field so "Salvador" is in the field gathering the irrigation pipes used to water the crop. After this they will can clear out what is left of the broccoli and plant a new crop of vegetables. #WeFeedYou

"Pablo" shared this video of his crew of H2A workers in Oxnard harvesting lettuce at an hourly rate. He shared, "H2A workers earned $19.75 back in 2025 and now we are doing the same hard work for $16.50." #WeFeedYou

"Manuel" is harvesting cherries in Stockton CA. He is getting paid $6/bucket. Working as fast as I can, I pick around 21 buckets in 7 hours." #WeFeedYou

"Reyna" shares, "We're removing the stalks left over from the broccoli harvest. The full buckets weighs 10+ lbs. It may not seem like much, but walking on the soft uneven ground while carrying this bucket can cause you to twist an ankle if you aren't careful. #WeFeedYou

It was 89° in Arvin CA when these farm workers were de-weeding a freen onion field. Removing competing weeds is essential to ensure the shallow-rooted, slow-growing green onions can thrive. #WeFeedYou

Trump’s DOL has put in place a federal rule to slash farmworker wages up to $5-$7/hour. Rep. Lofgren is fighting back with a Congressional Review Act–a tool to allow Congress to overturn federal agency regs. Tell your US Rep to support it TODAY. act.seiu.org/a/h2a_cra?ms=tw #WeFeedYou

"Susana" is harvesting lemons in Gonzalez CA. She shares, "the most difficult part of my job is carrying the sack of lemons and emptying it into the crate. Sometimes, my arms go numb from carrying the very heavy sacks full of lemons." #WeFeedYou

Farm workers are picking blueberries in Delano CA. "Susana" says, "We work under plastic canopies that serve as greenhouses & protect the fruit from rain and insects. For us workers, it's very humid when we work in the heat. Little wind can get in to cool us down." #WeFeedYou

"Teodoro" harvests strawberries in Oxnard CA. "This year, the harvesting season ended very early. We barely have enough to cover the rent. My work depends so much on the weather and when a crop goes bad like it did this year it's very hard to support your family." #WeFeedYou
