#Farmworker
If an undocumented farmworker was about to be deported and prayed for the intercession of Dolores Huerta, this is going to be the fastest canonization in history.

Rain damaged a lot of cabbage this year in upstate NY, resulting in farmworker hours being cut. "Joe" shared, “Our wages were cut and our hours were reduced. We pick cabbage late into the year when temperatures can reach freezing levels or it can start to snow.” #WeFeedYou

House GOP appropriations legislation would expand H-2A & H-2B visa programs, cut farmworker pay, & fuel a deportation-to-guestworker pipeline.

This would degrade labor standards for workers on farms & in industries like landscaping, construction, & hospitality.

Does that mean you are going to prosecute them criminally? It's now been 1 year and 4 months since Jaime Alanis was chased off the roof of a greenhouse. Is that acceptable law enforcement? Yet you do NOTHING beyond civil lawsuits for all the killings, assaults, etc in CA. apnews.com/article/jaim...

Pals! Today's my birthday!

If you've got dollars to give, I'd love it if you gave some of them to PCUN, Oregon's farmworker union. They're shrewd organizers holding it DOWN for immigrant workers in Oregon, one of the Trump admin's top ICE targets.

This is what a union contract looks like in the fields: when the heat turns dangerous, workers head home safe instead of being pushed through it. Every farmworker deserves that baseline.

Would you rather: draw an undocumented farmworker or pull a hall?

Can't choose? Or the question makes no sense?

The US Supreme Court on Tuesday will consider claims that the US Department of Labor's in-house process for enforcing laws that govern the treatment of ​farmworkers is unconstitutional, the latest chance for the high court to pare back the powers of federal agencies.

After a California state lab mishandled nine months’ worth of air-monitoring data for two deadly fumigants, environmental health advocates questioned pesticide regulators’ willingness to protect farmworker communities.

We need a different path. We need massive immigration reform to establish farmworker visas, abolish ESTA, and abolish ICE. We need to build deeper relations with our allies. We need universal health care. We need to bring back Conrail. We need debt-free college.

We need fundamental changes.

#Oregon has no single system for tracking farmworker data or handling their complaints, a new legislative report finds. A separate report on farm overtime is due to lawmakers at the end of November. Via Oregon Capital Chronicle.
Oregon missing unified data collection, complaint process for farmworkers, report says
The lack of clear metrics makes it harder for the state to track the wellbeing of farmworkers throughout the state, the report argues.

Rural clinics in the Valley run on money like this. When the fund falls short, it's farmworker families and small towns that lose care first — that's who pays when Washington underfunds rural health.

The solution? Wash produce under running water, keep eating fruits and vegetables, reduce unnecessary pesticide use, and demand stronger monitoring, farmworker protections, and farming practices that reduce reliance on hazardous pesticides. We need accountability, not food panic.

Piece rate in Merced County means the people picking the food have to outrun the clock just to beat minimum wage and save for the off-season. That is the farmworker economy California runs on, and exactly why their pay and protections deserve the spotlight.
