Truthout TV host, Ted Asregadoo, talks to David Bacon about his article “In Oakland, Mercado Chain Workers Protest Alleged Sexual Harassment, Firings” — that was featured on Truthout.org. The discussion centers on Laura Robledo who was fired from her job at Mi Pueblo Food Center in San Jose, CA after she filed a complaint against a co-worker for sexually harassing her. Also, Ted and David discuss the attempts by Mi Pueblo to use the E-Verify system to intimidate employees from organizing for better working conditions.
