Wage Hour Law Fight Aims to Exempt Farm Laborers
A powerful lobby backs a drive to amend the wage hour law to exempt farm laborers including canning and packing workers. The push, led by the Agricultural Producers Labor Committee of Los Angeles, seeks to redefine agricultural labor and remove roughly 1,000,000 food processors from wage hour coverage and likely from social security and Wagner Act protections. The battle centers in Congress with Farm Bureau, National Grange, and a House farm bloc backing exemptions while others resist. The outcome could derail all wage hour amendments. Separately 4-H Club dairy judging teams in Hale County prepare for state competition at College Station July 5 to 7, with youths listed.
