Strawberry field workers in San Luis Obispo County striked for a second day July 2, demanding better wages.
Workers are demanding West Coast Berry Farms pay them $14 hourly wages, $1.25 per strawberry box and $2 per unit of juice.
The strike was organized by the farm workers and received a publicity boost on Instagram from the Mixteco Indígena Community Organizing Project.
Strikers, present since 5:30 a.m., received an offer around two hours later from a West Coast Berry Farms representative for $2.40 per strawberry box and $2 per juice unit, but no hourly wage, according to community organizer Fernando Martinez.
