They were treated badly, they were disciminated against and they were yelled at. They were also forced to retreat to a camp where they felt safe. "Everybody in the world is equal. You should treat your neighbor or enemy as an equal"- Vicky Bell. People in the 1930s were very racist, one great example of this is the book or film called of mice and men By John Steinbeck.
Working conditions for migrant workers were harsh and unbearable.. They had to work from the crack of sun to later evening. They were forced to pick crops all day and had gotten little shade and a little water if any..
They worked in the fields just as they have for years. Working conditions were awful and it wasn't until the 1960's that the United Farm Workers union began to fight for better working conditions and a fair wage.
Treated unfairly. Almost no food or water. Not payed fairly. Often charged to live in theor own cars and had no access to toilets, showers, etc.
The migrant workers are called migrant workers because they migrate. To migrate means to move. Migrant workers move from farm to farm, hoping to find work.
"Many temporary agricultural workers are considered migrants as they move from farm to farm to find employment."
The National Farm Workers Association worked for the rights of migrant farm workers. The organization became the United Farm Workers of America in 1962.
