My post was two years old because Harry's story was two years old.
They got their raise and the story would be history if the UNION would
actually give the money the producers have already paid to the
pickers. They are sitting on two million dollars, waiting for the
pickers to get deported so they can keep it I guess.

Ah... I knew you'd get around to blaming unions for something. It was
just a matter of time.

It is a fact, read the stories. Why aren't you mad about that if you
are really as concerned for the pickers? They got their raise almost 2
years ago and the union took the money.


Don't know of any documented case of any union sitting on "millions"
that are owned to undocumented workers... feel free to post the links.

"Though the hamburger chains and others agreed to the increase years
ago, the money they have been paying — an estimated $2 million now
held in an escrow account — could not be distributed to tomato pickers
until the state’s largest trade association, which acts as a
middleman, agreed to lift a ban preventing their farms from passing
along the extra wages. "



Since when is a "trade association" a union?
