Beatrice Sanchez worked at Del Monte Plant #3 from 1970-1995. Beatrice recalled that she took the job at Del Monte “[b]ecause it was only part-time, I didn’t work all year. Because I wanted to work it didn’t matter where I was working, I wanted to help out, and I wanted some money because we wanted to buy a house and so I kept on working to make some money and save and buy the house.”
