Show Notes
Over a hundred farmworkers and supporters gathered outside the Fresno courthouse on March 18, 2026, protesting the Trump administrations wage cuts for H-2A guest agricultural workers. The Department of Labors new rule, implemented in October 2025, introduced a two-tier wage system and housing adjustments, potentially reducing wages by 26-32% for H-2A workers and 9% for U.S. farmworkers. The United Farm Workers union and individual plaintiffs sought a preliminary injunction to block the rule, arguing it benefits employers at workers expense. The case impacts millions of farmworkers, including over 850,000 in California, as the rally coincided with a New York Times report on past allegations against UFW co-founder Cesar Chavez.
