Tonight's Guests: Diana Robinson

Diana Robinson is the Campaign and Education Coordinator of the Food Chain Workers Alliance, a coalition organizing for improved wages and working conditions for all workers in the food chain and for a more sustainable food system.

More than half of US food chain workers - who make up 1/6th to 1/7th of the US workforce - aren't paid enough to keep them out of poverty; employers retaliate when they join or form unions. Diana describes the food chain worker activism that is making a difference to this picture - bottom up organizing in worker-based organizations, many, many partnerships, and creative media strategies like a comic book called Food Chain Avengers.
