Turkey Feasts and Poultry Workers

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28 — Holiday Specials

PROGRAM #10607 11:00 AM PT 

Extra Edition: Turkey Feasts and Poultry Workers. 

This archival program, originally aired on November 26, 1999, features a conversation with workers who, although largely invisible to society, are nevertheless the ones who make turkey dinners possible during the holidays. They are workers in the poultry industry. In this conversation, they talk about their work and about how invested these immigrants are in the traditional thanksgiving festivities of the so-called Turkey Day in the USA.

Guests: Antonio Fernández and José Ramírez, Poultry Workers, Fresno, CA; Araceli García, Reporter/Producer, Radio Bilingüe, Fresno, CA.
