Many food chain workers are on the frontlines of COVID-19: harvesting our food, processing meat, coordinating package delivery, stocking grocery store shelves, and preparing & serving meals in restaurants. This session will discuss the workplace safety, health, and welfare issues food chain workers have experienced since the pandemic started--though none of these issues are necessarily "new." Learn about what organizers are doing in their workplaces and how you can support.

Muchos trabajadores de la cadena alimenticia están en el frente de batalla de la COVID-19: cosechan nuestros alimentos, procesan carne, coordinan la entrega de paquetes, almacenan provisiones en los estantes de las tiendas, y preparan y sirven comidas en restaurantes. En esta sesión charlaremos sobre los problemas de seguridad, la salud y el bienestar en el ámbito laboral que han vivido los trabajadores de la cadena alimenticia desde que comenzó la pandemia, a pesar de que ninguno de estos problemas es necesariamente “nuevo”. Aprende sobre qué hacen los organizadores en su lugar de trabajo y cómo puedes apoyarlos.
