Lawsuit Claims Farm Hired White Immigrants Over Black US Workers | Food Manufacturing

Six Black farmworkers in Mississippi say in a new lawsuit that their former employer brought white laborers from South Africa to do the same jobs they were doing, and that the farm has been violating federal law by paying the white immigrants more for the same type of work.

Mississippi Center for Justice and Southern Migrant Legal Services filed the federal lawsuit Wednesday on behalf of the six workers against Pitts Farm Partnership, which grows cotton, soybeans and corn in the Mississippi Delta’s Sunflower County.

The lawsuit said the farm violated regulations of a foreign worker visa program, which requires equal treatment of U.S. workers and their immigrant counterparts. It seeks an unspecified amount in damages, including money the U.S. workers say they were shorted because of the uneven pay scale.

Na luta por direitos, as mulheres se defrontam com inúmeras desigualdades

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” Na luta pela igualdade de direitos, as mulheres se defrontam com inúmeras desigualdades” que precisam ser vistas e interpretadas de forma que, toque as pessoas, as mobilizem, gerando assim, um sentimento de ( culpa, dor) para que determinados temas possam ser discutidos em sociedade. Não basta falar, é preciso falar para haver transformação.

Marii Freire Pereira.

Todos somos conhecedores do quanto as mulheres foram impedidas de pensar, de defender a causa da igualdade legal entre homens e elas mesmas. Muito do que se tem hoje, é resultado da manifestação feministas que acabou cooperando para os muitos direitos que temos reconhecidos legalmente. Na Idade Média por exemplo, as mulheres eram impedidas de muita coisa. Cabia-lhes o dever e a obediência, bem como a submissão ao homem que servia, fosse este, pai , irmão ou marido.

O casamento era um negócio entre as famílias, que tentavam assegurar interesses e poder.

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

The Four Freedoms movement starts  with empathy building, which both leads to and requires continuous learning.  Today’s question is about the Nile:

how do you imagine that you would you feel about the river, if you were an Ancient Egyptian?

This is a particularly key concept for all of us who live near water, or nowhere near water, to consider regularly because, how do we know if there is or isn’t enough of it (as someone in Fresno, CA asked me recently: why does it not look like we have a water shortage…)?

 

Action Items  for Adulting that we can take right now:

Unvaccinated Americans Are 11 Times More Likely to Die of Covid, C.D.C. Reports – The New York Times

Three studies that drew data from different U.S. regions evaluated the protective power of the vaccines. One looked at more than 600,000 virus cases in 13 states, representing about one quarter of the U.S. population, between April and July, and concluded that individuals who were not fully vaccinated were far more susceptible to infection and death from the virus.

They were 4.5 times more likely than vaccinated individuals to become infected, 10 times more likely to be hospitalized, and 11 times more likely to die from the coronavirus, the study found.

Vaccine protection against hospitalization and death remained strong even when the Delta variant was the dominant form of infection. But the vaccines’ effectiveness in preventing infection dropped from 91 percent to 78 percent, the study found.

The studies underscore a series of similar findings in recent weeks.
