Mexicans in the comments section angry about this video a white man posted of his migrant workers picking berries in the fields

How is this slavery? Yes slavery never ended. But is this an example of that?

Did you read the post?

How long before they start singing Chicano spirituals?

Ftfy.

When it gets hot out and the labor is particularly back breaking, they spontaneously break out into a rendition of Low Rider by War while the farmer makes the tractor bounce.

Most comments are commending them for using a machine that helps them pick berries more easily. Any job related to a field will be strenuous if you're doing it for a couple hours. Anyone who even merely has a garden would know.

She getting ate up in the comments for that shyt. Most of the comments compliment the machine they using.

I'm also pretty sure the workers are choosing to start and make passes at certain times when they're all ready to.

It's manual labor, but you most likely can't say this is forced and against anyone's will. They got water breaks, lunch breaks, etc. or would've been sued by now.

I know how manual labor works. Our boss at this warehouse I used to work at back in the day used to do the same type of "bragging" about the workers when customers would come by and he showed them around the plant. This ain't anything different.

Black and white people won’t do this for those low wages.

Anyway, I’m hating, because I can never get my strawberries to get that big, because as soon as they start to turn red, the squirrels come and jack them.

Then Pablo starts to whistle the horns

I don't know how to post links but u do realize Desantis in Florida has legalized no water or heat breaks for outside workers recently

A lot of these people are being scammed. They get promised the American dream and end up doing field work after paying money to get here to begin with

 

[ROFL_GUY]

They should be. The video is degrading. Cac flex. Hyuck hyuck look how u exploit people. That white man really needs his head checked

What y’all need to understand is that those ppl are here doing labor so that their children can get degrees, trades and certs within the next 18-22yrs and move up a class.


Stay focused and don’t let their kids/families surpass yours in one generation

I don't deny some people are being taken advantage of here and around the world.

This video though? shyt I wouldn't be surprised if they treat their labor workers like close friends to be honest when you look at other videos they have. Like they got another video with Mexican and White field workers smiling and laughing doing work together. This farm feels more like a close knit family than anything. Someone even asked in the comments if they have openings and they said they're not hiring workers.

This is what the vehicle they're using in the OP's video used to look like. Now they have an awning to protect workers from the sun. Inhumane people won't go through the trouble/expenses to set that up.


It's sad people are trying to go at these people, because I don't think it's a case of that and they seem really happy with their employees. Unfortunately the strawberries don't pick themselves so somebody's got to do it.

White boss at the job I was talking about at the warehouse bought his main Mexican worker a full on $45k truck and stock in the company. It was a defense/gears shop that made parts for fighter jets too so I know that's worth bank now. I get the vibes that farm is the same.

i'm not denying cheap labor isn't a thing, but a lot of this is work people are getting paid to do and signing up knowing what it'll be. You think migrants out in Mexico don't know this?

They're doing field work on a massage table

I don't know why they're crying
