ORLANDO, Fla. – Essential workers, which includes food-service employees, have continued to work every day throughout the pandemic.
When coronavirus cases first started popping up, Cristian Cardona said he started to see his coworker and his family start to struggle. “And these are all problems that we faced before the pandemic.
But this pandemic made them stand out in a way that I could not ignore,” Cardona said. From there, Cardona got in contact with Fight for $15 Florida. “Once I was connected with Fight for $15, I began participating in different strikes, training calls, advocating for Amendment 2 and advocating for worker rights.
