Latino workers say they are finding their voice in the resurgence of unionization across the U.S.
Angelica Hernandez, a McDonald's employee who helped lead the effort, told Axios through a translator that she became active in the labor movement after her son told her he wanted to come work with her. "I didn't want to see him suffer and be degraded like I have."
"As Latinos, sometimes they see us as if we don't know how to defend ourselves," she added. But it's not just fast food workers that are standing up and fighting. "It's also the carpenters, the farmworkers ... We're all raising our voices as a Latino community."
