Another Life Lost in the Fields
Urbano Ramirez came to N.C. from the mountains of Guerrero to support his family. One of his greatest dreams was that his children be able to go to school. When he told his supervisor that he was feeling sick, he was told to rest under a tree and was forgotten when the crew left the fields. Two weeks later, his decomposing body was found under the same tree. Tragedies like this could be avoided if conditions in the fields were improved and workers had a real voice in the workplace.
The children of Urbano Ramirez.
