Unknown to Gutierrez, someone was secretly videotaping her as she handed out the money from her car. The video was shared by the United Farm Workers Union.

Sneaky conniving union-busting companies should be charged for doing shit like this.

Union busters should be sentenced to minimum wage construction jobs. See if they change thier tune after a few years of destroying their body to not even get by.

Maria Gutierrez says since the video was released, she’s been subjected to ridicule. She hasn’t been able to find stable work, and the Wonderful Company where she worked for 26 years no longer wants her. She feels the deepest pain from the co-worker who recorded her.

"Éramos compañeras y las compañeras mismas me traicionaron." We were coworkers, and my own coworkers betrayed me, she says.

So she claims she borrowed $6000 from a friend to break a union, now can't find any work and is being blanked by the company she did it for?

My heart bleeds!

So if the company didn't provide the money, how could she afford this?
