This interview follows Zoila Garcia, an 18-year-old who works outdoors in a plant nursery. Zoila explains how many of her concerns stem from the lack of protections for outdoor workers, as well as the mistreatment of outdoor workers by people overseeing the farms. She recounts some of her experiences when she was new to this line of work and didn’t fully understand how strict the rules were and how far-reaching the lack of protections are. For example, once Zoila was reprimanded for taking a fifteen-minute bathroom and water break instead of a five-minute one.
