Why do they always want to screw farm workers?
Ask President-Elect Obama not to let the outgoing Bush Admin Steal Farm Worker Protections
The Bush Administration just released midnight regulation changes that make it easier for growers to slash the pay of domestic farm workers and hire imported foreign laborers instead of U.S. field workers. They will weaken government protections in an industry known for violating the minimum wage, housing requirements and other rules. The changes in H-2A regulations were revealed on the DOL website late Monday evening, but have not been formally published in the Federal Register.
Like the farm workers aren’t getting paid low enough already? They might as well start enslaving people to work on farms.
