stinglikeabeeThanks to parlance for the heads up: (United Farm Workers): One hundred plus farm workers evicted following news coverage.
That's right, once a news report on the plight of farm workers were broadcast, the company's representatives called sheriffs to evict the workers from the orchard they were practically squatting. Why were the workers in the orchard in the first place? Because when they arrived in California for the promised jobs, the accommodations never materialised. UFW has more.
The company involved: Kyle Mathison Orchards, part of Stemilt Growers Company.
This is just another reason to buy from your local farmers.
