grape pickers

Seasonal vineyard laborers

Grape pickers are workers who harvest grapes from vineyards, typically by hand.

The work is seasonal and physically demanding, often performed by migrant laborers.

In American contexts, grape pickers became symbolically associated with labor rights movements, particularly César Chávez's organization of California farmworkers in the 1960s: The grape pickers went on strike for better wages.
