Truthout TV With David Bacon on E-Verify and Sexual Harassment

David Bacon discusses his recent article and changes in immigration news on Truthout TV.

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.

We’re not going to stand for it. Are you?

You don’t bury your head in the sand. You know as well as we do what we’re facing as a country, as a people, and as a global community. Here at Truthout, we’re gearing up to meet these threats head on, but we need your support to do it: We must raise $16,000 before midnight to ensure we can keep publishing independent journalism that doesn’t shy away from difficult — and often dangerous — topics.

We can do this vital work because unlike most media, our journalism is free from government or corporate influence and censorship. But this is only sustainable if we have your support. If you like what you’re reading or just value what we do, will you take a few seconds to contribute to our work?
