In early-October 2010, the FAN worker team met with fieldworkers near Benson, NC to prioritize a list of issues for FAN's legislative agenda. (above)
Workers received information and materials about the HOD campaign, and they also participated in a Know-Your-Rights training. (above)
Many of the H2A visa workers raised concerns about falling minimum wages. In many counties workers make $7.25/hr., and in some they make $8/hr. Next year with Obama legislation beginning to take effect, hopefully that wage will be up to $9/hr.
Thanks to all who participated!
