Roundup of Alien Workers Sparks Farm Labor Uphill Battle
U S Border Patrol rounded up about 60 illegal Mexican aliens reportedly employed as farm laborers on three ranches near Reedley Dinuba southeast of Fresno. Labor contractors allegedly supplied the workers to Peloian D'Amigo and Apkarian ranches struck by the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee. The action followed UFWOC protests at the Fresno office accusing ranches of hiring illegal labor as strike breakers. Jessie de la Cruz, UFWOC organizer, said the union had known for weeks about the practice.
