We're literally watching the largest labor movement in modern American history happen in the form of paper signs taped to the windows of fast-food and fast-casual restaurants!

2. What message? A pandemic? Migrant labor blocked at the border?

Here: for perspective.

Shay Meyers, farmer:
“There is going to be roughly 350,000 pounds of asparagus in this field that is going to go to waste,” Myers said in the video. “None of this beautiful crop is going to get harvested because we don’t have the labor to get it picked.”

Delays in delivery of H-2A workers meant the firm had no one available to pick the asparagus crop, and no local labor was available at $16 per hour.

Myers pointed to dysfunctional policies where thousands of undocumented migrants who cannot legally work in the U.S. are crossing the border.

There's a great & looming picture to consider, as well.

And I believe American History has experienced greater labor movents than this one, emerging from a pandemic.
