Farmworkers in Healdsburg continue to demand fair wages, hazard pay and better benefits. On Sunday, hundreds of farmworkers and their supporters gathered at Healdsburg Plaza, then marched through the city. About 500 people took part in the protest, which was organized by Santa Rosa-based labor rights coalition North Bay Jobs with Justice. Farmworkers are asking to be paid at least 25-dollars-per-hour or 250-dollars-per-ton of grapes picked. They also want hazard pay for working in dangerous conditions like extreme heat or wildfire smoke, and compensation for wages lost during disasters like fires or flooding.
