Farmworkers in Greeley, Colorado celebrated Farmworker Appreciation Day with a different menu due to millions of chickens being culled to prevent bird flu transmission. Dairy workers feel underappreciated, lacking proper protective equipment despite the risk of bird flu. Health experts are trying to educate workers on protecting themselves, but many farms are not requesting free protective equipment. Concerns are growing about undiagnosed illness among farmworkers due to a lack of testing. Employers are urged to provide PPE to workers to prevent the spread of bird flu, which has infected dairy cows in Colorado. Promotoras are distributing masks and information to workers to increase awareness.
