In this interview, Juana Vicente shares her experience with extreme heat being a nursery worker. She shares her thoughts on the difference in the manual labor between working at a nursery in Miami compared to a farm back home. She explains the working conditions which she must operate in, such as no water breaks, no shade, no rest, and until recently, no clean bathrooms or bathroom breaks. She recalls the recent occurrence that there were no clean bathrooms, porta potties, at the nursery where she works until a worker filed a complaint with OSHA. Juana has been in the U.S. for seven months and has become a part of the social change organization, We Count! in order to make a difference in the passing of a law that will provide outside workers such as herself, with basic needs such as water, shade, and rest. She expands on the organization and the legislation.
