When the entire chain is running lean & mean the bull whip effect is inevitable & no one wants to end up sitting on warehouses of toilet paper when half the country has a year supply in the garage...
Now the virus wave is making it out to the fields & small towns in rural areas, which normally fill w/ migrant workers-working & living in less than sanitary conditions, no health care..
Many of them know little of the details-needed protections etc nor have adequate access to them....... Sounds like a recipe for disaster..
"“What we noted immediately was that workers were not being provided protections or information. [Growers are] not even trying. And that’s gotten workers very scared,” said Armando Elenes, secretary treasurer of UFW, to the Guardian. “The last hands that touched that produce before the consumer puts it in their mouth is a farm worker’s hands, so we better care about what happens to these workers.”"
Farmworkers Are Essential, Yet Remain Unprotected
