Reyes was sexually harassed and assaulted by her boss for years. When she eventually reported it to the ranch owners, they did nothing. "I told the owners of the ranch everything, but unfortunately, they don't pay attention to a farmworker woman. No one cares what happens to you; you just come and go like a piece of trash. "Most of us when we sit down and eat our good food don't ever consider what these women go through to ensure that all of us can feed our families," says Dolores Huerta, co-founder of the United Farm Workers union.
