Since 1938 they have been excluded from overtime pay due to a racist policy which excluded Black workers. Those who put food on our tables deserve to be compensated appropriately for their work. Oregon is one of only 8 states to pass overtime pay for farm workers.
Thank you to everyone who called or sent in testimony to support our farm worker brothers and sisters! Huge thanks and admiration for the Oregon Farm Worker Overtime Coalition lead by PCUN!! We did it! Sí, se pudo!!
