“Attention! Migratory Farm Workers” Educational Bulletin no. 1
This educational bulletin provides information about workplace rights for the migratory farm workers who played essential roles in the agricultural industries of California. These workers, many of whom were Mexican, Filipino, or African American, struggled and struck for workplace rights in the 1920s and early 30s. The federal government broadened programs to assist migrant farmworkers, but employers did not always follow these or state-level labor laws, and workers took to creating and distributing bulletins like this one to inform one another of their rights.
