Please tell Governor Brown he should allow farm workers to enforce the laws that the state cannot enforce. Tell him to sign the "Fair Treatment for Farm Workers Act" when it reaches his desk again later this year. To send your letter, please click on the

While reading this, I noticed it did not say what they died of? They suggest heat, but what does the autopsy show? I think we should see all the facts before we start pointing fingers and no I am not by any stretch of the imagination trying to protect farmers...........Especially since I have moved to California.

Noted and signed. All too often these workers are Mexican immigrants who work for next to nothing doing jobs that the average American deems beneath them. I purchase vegetables and fruits from these farms in the off seasons, when the farmers markets are closed, I live in CT,. These poor people need to be protected.
Thanks for the article...
