Farm Workers Want Changes

ALBION NY â€â€

Stand up for your rights in your own country and stop trying to wage
economic chaos in ours. Illegals are breaking every law one can think of.
Their law is the law of survival and that means anything goes.

The bill would grant farmworkers the same rights as other workers, including a day of rest per week, disability insurance, overtime pay, collective bargaining protections and the same health and safety provisions.

Fine pass it with a provision that these beenifits could only be granted to Workers who are in the counrty legally. Heck, i would do it for the health insurance alone.

It is truely critical to understand something here! The United Farm Workers of America, and they were citizens, tried to make growers in California pay living wages, and hire citizens. They ran the union off with shotguns, and while the border patrol had to watch. The BP was not allowed to interfer because it was the growers land. And every since then, the issue has been, and continues to be: cheap labor for agriculture.

Pay the wages, and meet the State Mandated requirements for Ag workers in California, and you have American Citizens out there working the fields. So.. and obviously.. Riveria wants exactly what the United Farm Workers wanted... but the UFW, which is on the web, used American Citizens.

All growers are not bad people, but some growers are low life people to say the least. And the very people who could do something about it also stand to be hurt the most if they don't do something about it...Growers who hire Americans to do the work. But in addition to the illegal aliens, the ag growers also get gasoline that is not taxed and subsidies. I am advocating we stop the subsidies, and that we move the production of those items that require illegal aliens... to a country that can produce the good without illegal aliens. Move potatoes to Mexico. Move tomatoes to Mexico. That means they will be employed in Mexico.. and we won't pay the subsidies through congress that doesn't represent us, and through our welfare systems and the educational systems.

That's all we need - illegals making bogus disability claims...
