Farmers Plan Fight To Keep Mexican Labor
In El Centro California on June 9 AP reports threats of legal action to stop removal of Mexican contract workers amid a labor dispute. Imperial Valley Farmers Association says it will not stand by while Secretary Tobin ordered Mexicans off farms where AFL Labor Union strikes. The union claims the order affects the entire valley, risking $100 million in annual crops. About 5,000 contract workers, a third of the valley’s labor, face possible displacement as union pushes to remove workers considered strikebreakers and to drive out wetbacks who allegedly earn less than the prevailing 60 cents an hour. Strike leaders seek $1 an hour. California growers contend otherwise.
