"Hot Meal, Calexico Event Says ‘Thank You’ to Our Farmworkers"

"A morning of celebration, it’s easy to forget that many of the field laborers are facing serious issues on their job sites. Gloria Flores, a farmworker from Heber, for instance. She spoke about appreciating the event, but her comments took a darker turn. 'This event is very well organized. As you can see, all my partners (are) enjoying themselves. This is my fifth year coming here, and this year it is the best that it has been organized and everything is for the well-being of the workers,' Flores said in Spanish. 'I like this event for all the information that they are providing. I’ve only been working for six seasons and there is a lot of things that I didn’t know.'"
