Jobs with good benefits are hard to find. Most people look for health insurance and a 401K. David Ford, who owns YJ's Snackbar, has found that if he saves a little bit of money per employee per hour, he can purchase plane tickets on his employees' behalf as easily as he could give them each a small hourly raise. So every year, come January, he shuts his doors to take his regular staffers on vacation to places like Morocco and Guatemala. This year, he and his staff went to Chiapas, a Southern Mexican state that is steeped in Mayan tradition. Currently, the region is best known for its revolutionary Zapatista movement, which, since the 1990s has controlled some of the territory. Zapatista leader Subcommander Marcos says he's defending the rights of indigenous Mexican farmers. YJ's employee and freelance writer Gina Kaufmann was on the trip, and brought home this audio postcard.
