Weeding Out Abuses: Recommendations for a law-abiding farm labor system
Resources - Articles & Reports
Farmworker Justice and Oxfam America have released a report outlining solutions to rampant violations of labor law in American agriculture. The report, Weeding out Abuses: Recommendations for a law-abiding farm labor system, shows a broken farm labor system that encourages lawlessness and exploitation of workers and outlines specific recommendations that the Obama Administration can take to increase enforcement and improve the lives of farmworkers around the country.
Dolores Huerta, co-founder of the United Farm Workers (UFW) and two farmworkers from Washington state along with representatives from Oxfam America and Farmworker Justice presented the report to Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis. The groups then held a Congressional briefing in the Capitol Visitor's Center to present the recommendations of the report to a larger audience of media and Congressional staff members.
