Human Services - Employment and Occupations

Being a worker on a Colombian flower plantation is a tough job. Most Colombian flower workers are women, they work long hours, especially leading up to Mother's Day and Valentine's Day. They get paid the minimum wage, are often treated poorly by management, and live in fear that they will lose their jobs. They suffer from a variety of health problems due to repetitive motions, standing for long hours, not being allowed to use the bathroom, and over-exposure to pesticides.
