Farm Workers' Working Condition in the United States

Farm Workers’ Working Condition in the United States
Can you imagine the sun blazing blistering your skin, freezing temperatures making you breathing difficult, or being exposed to harmful pesticides?. These are some of the problems that farm workers face every day in their lives. They have to break their back for minimum wages, so that people could eat delicious fruits and fresh vegetables in home. It is a key points for “The Plum Plum Pickers”, written by Raymond Barrio, and “The Organizer’s Tale”, written by Cesar Chavez.These essays agree with the fact that in addition of being the most exploited people in the United States, Farm workers face minimum wages and deplorable work conditions.

Jose Chavez’s “The Organizer Tale” addresses that farm workers are paid the lowest wages in the U.S. Farm workers, mostly undocumented immigrants, receive low wages by working in difficult jobs most Americans do not want to do. For years, U.S companies have been brought farm workers, mostly from Mexico and Central America, because of their farming experience. However, farm workers are used as cheap labor for employers who do not want to pay fair wages. “The growers were paying $1 and $1.15,and maybe 95 percent of the people thought they should be getting only $1.25”(292). According with Labor law, the employer should sign a labor contract with their employees. However, none of these farm workers have a contract. Cesar Chavez founded the National Farm Workers Union in which he demands “collective bargaining contracts”(291). Chavez states that money is always a problem for farm workers. Nevertheless, without farm workers, American life would be more difficult. Moreover, farm workers are able to sacrifice their low pay labor for their families.

Jorge Soto’s “The Plum Plum Pickers”,in the same way, recreates the working conditions of migrant farm workers and how landowners oppress them. Farm workers are among the hardest working people in the U.S. They work from eight to twelve hours a day under all weather conditions. Farm workers are people who break their back in the fields every day. “His body ached from the previous day’s picking, aches that were drugged partially but not entirely wiped by the relieving drafts of wine he took before falling asleep”(Barrio 251). Farm workers are provided with poor drinking water, food, and toilets are not always available for them. In addition, farm workers are exposed to harmful pesticides used on the crops that are working with. In the same way, “A Red Palm”, written by Gary Soto, describes how farm workers are able to face deplorable working conditions for their families. “That’s hours later. The sun is red blister coming up in your palm. Your back is strong, young, not yet the broken chair in an abandoned school of dry spiders”(Soto 246). Farm workers are the poorest people in the U.S. Their desperate need for survival and to feed their family force farm workers to work under those conditions. “You chop, step, and by the end of the first row, you can buy one splendid fish for wife and three sons”(246).

Along with minimum wages and deplorable working conditions, Chavez’s “Organizer Tale” and Jorge Soto’s “The Plum Plum Pickers” point out how the gringo oppresses people who work in the fields. Farm workers have no rights. Farm workers do not claim justice because they are afraid that they will be fired for exercising their rights. They have been humiliated and denigrated by their employers for their skin color. Chavez’s essay humanized the experience of how people working the roses were sick and tired of being treated, and he was willing to go to the limit (294).In the same way, Soto’s essay emphasizes the way companies and corporations make a lot of money from farm workers. While farm workers have to wake up every day asking themselves how feed their families, the guero--the oppressor--grew happier and wealthier.

Farm workers are the hardest workers people in American society. However, they face low wages, deplorable conditions, and discrimination from their employers. Soto freely acknowledges, after all, that farm workers have to work hard to survive and feed their families. In the same way, Chavez points out that farm workers are able to sacrifice their low pay jobs for their children. In addition, Chavez suggests that all people should work together to correct a lot of things that are wrong in this society (296).
