"Therapists and academics say they are seeing more young adults and teens who feel they must protect parents who may not speak English or understand the risks posed by immigration agents. This stress can take a toll on their normal life — and could lead to depression, anxiety, other health issues."

Win: @ufw.bsky.social's workers at Wafler Farms will get the $19.39/hr they bargained for.

That's 21% more than the $16 fed min for H–2A migrant workers in NY.

UFW is also seeking back pay at the union rate, which should have applied since April.

Thanks @amirkhafagy.bsky.social for covering this.
