WHEN WE FIGHT WE WIN. Last year, 30 Jamaican workers on H2A visas were told they wouldn&rsquo;t be rehired for the apple harvest in NY this year &mdash; for what we believe was retaliation for unionizing. But with UFW, they got their jobs BACK. Winning a UFW contract is next! #WeFeedYou CUANDO LUCHAMOS GANAMOS. El a&ntilde;o pasado, a 30 trabajadores jamaiquinos con visas H2A se les dijo que no ser&iacute;an recontratados para la cosecha de manzanas en Nueva York este a&ntilde;o, por lo que creemos que fue una represalia por sindicalizarse.
