One in six jobs in the U.S. is in
the food supply chain, from restaurants, to grocery stores, to food processing,
and production. These jobs offer low wages, little job security, and few
benefits. In addition, they often include dangerous working conditions. And
yet, food system workers are under protected by minimum wage and hour laws,
workplace safety laws, and others. This panel will focus on three key issues
facing food chain laborers today: sexual harassment, immigration restrictions
and enforcement, and occupational health hazards.
Business meeting will be held on Thursday, January 3, 2019 from 7 - 8:30 am.
