Number 430 of the Pública magazine, which supplemented the edition of August 22nd, 2004 of the newspaper Público had a long article about the (very bad) conditions agricultural workers work and live in the greenhouses of El Ejido, a municipality in Andalucia, southern Spain.

The article is profusely illustrated with photos, of which this one is the most interesting (for us) because it shows 4 green-white-green horizontal tribands with some symbol in the center. At first sight, one could believe they were flags of Andaluzia, but the symbol sets the record straight. It's the symbol of the Sindicato de Obreros del Campo y del Medio Rural (Medio can be translated here as "Environment").
