Los Trabajadores (The Workers) tells the stories and daily experience of mushroom farm laborers based in Kennett Square and Reading, Pennsylvania. It examines their efforts to improve working and living conditions through collective action. The video illustrates the challenges faced by Pennsylvania-area migrant farmworkers from migration and arrival in the United States to back-breaking labor, poor housing, and inadequate health resources, and shows the benefits and victories that organizing collectively can produce.
