Migrant farm workers in Washington, specifically those working in dairy, face many issues involving dangerous work environments and mistreatment by management. There are many ways to get injured on a dairy farm, yet work-related injuries are given little financial protection and few options to return to full-time employment. There is also a culture of fear among the workers -- confronting management is simply not an option for many.
