03.13.25 Policy for the People Explores Wage Boards for Farmworkers

Policy for the People talks with Ira Cuello-Martinez of PCUN, Oregon’s Farmworker Union, about the tough working conditions that farmworkers in Oregon endure, and why the creation of a Workforce Standards Board for farmworkers – something currently under discussion in the Oregon Legislature – could be a real game changer. Then, David Madland of the Center for American Progress explains the benefits of Workforce Standards Boards and why there’s been a resurgence of interest in this policy.
