United Farm Workers: Nothing says #July4 like a juicy slice of watermelon. This delicious fruit doesn't just appear on our picnic table. It takes a lot of work. An average watermelon weighs 20 lbs. It's 100+ degrees in Bakersfield today. Can you imagine harvesting them in high temps? #WeFeedYou

Dangerous conditions

genuine Q, what does UFW do for workers in these conditions? They seem absolutely backbreaking even with accommodations for the heat.

100 degrees F in the desert isn't unusual farms in the desert are for several good reasons

idk that!

I love watermelon

Mr Majestyk just popped in my head. 1974

I live in Eastern Kern County.

Makes me puke that they think we don't need them. George Lopez: I gonna pick it for 3 dollars, I ain't gonna clean it too.

Thank you for all your backbreaking labor! I am enjoying a sweet watermelon today. Thank you so much for feeding us! 🍉🍉🍉🍉🙏🏼🤩

You mean they get the 4th off? Sorry. Terrible joke.

It's always been hot in Bakersfield and now it's beyond belief.
