Graphics from the Food Chain Workers Alliance new report WE ARE NOT DISPOSABLE: Food Workers Organizing on the COVID Frontlines.
The report documents the devastating and disproportionate impacts of COVID-19 on food workers, especially for Black and Latinx workers, and exposes how the pandemic exacerbated long-standing problems for workers in the food sector. It features interviews about and analysis of trends on how workers across the country are organizing in response to the crisis, from launching strikes and walkouts to protesting unsafe conditions, filing lawsuits against mega corporations, fighting for legal protections, demanding hazard pay and excluded worker funds, and forming new unions and worker organizations to build worker power.
