"Adan" works in Gilroy CA harvesting poblano peppers that are used for chiles rellenos. "I'm paid by the hour, but if I don't fill at least 7 buckets an hour I can lose my job. It's wrong that our pay goes down, but the expected productivity goes up." #WeFeedYou

"Edgar" is harvesting honeycrisp apples in WA State. "We earn $32 a 900 lb crate. Many days we don't pick more than 3 crates as many apples don't pass the required quality control. This type of apple is very delicate. We must be careful not to bruise the fruit." #WeFeedYou
