01 Striking at Dole's Diamond Farms
Carmen, near Davao City, Mindanao
Farm workers on strike against Dole Corporation stand in the road beside the Diamond Farms banana plantation. Their incomes have been cut by a third, and they have lost medical care, vacations, and all their other benefits, because of the low price paid for their bananas.
