FARM WORKERS TODAY. Sixteen years after the death of labor rights activist Cesar Chavez, farm workers still face unsafe labor conditions in the fields. This program includes a conversation with the current president of the United Farm Workers, Arturo Rodriguez. He talks about a recent suspension of guest worker regulations introduced by President Bush that lowered wages and reduced worker protections, efforts to cover farm workers under the National Labor Relations Act, the rallies for immigration reform, and an effort to improve laws to prevent heat stroke.
