Wow, that picture speaks a thousand words.

The struggle isn't done until a contract is reached between workers and Sakuma, one that is just and won't be violated. But this is huge victory for the farmworkers! Woot

Ansel, this isn't getting many comments. Maybe make this sexier by injecting a cycle-track/class warfare slant to it.

Progress too often comes slowly, but it comes when people work together.

The interests of immigrants directly contradict the interests of resident labor. I prefer the Kochs

An Update from Familias Unidas por la Justicia (FUJ): After renovating all the labor camps (one of FUJ's demands) Sakuma is now saying that only men can live in the labor camps, not families, and especially not children who are too young to work. Its being challenged in court, but if it succeeds it will effectively exclude hundreds of workers because Sakuma pays too low of wages for them to afford housing in Mt Vernon or transportation to the farm. The fight is far from over.

Please wait...
