It really pisses me off to read about the shitty conditions these farm workers are put through. It's a tough job as it is and is made worse when they are denied meal or bathroom breaks and aren't allowed to drink water in the hellish triple-digit heat. And not only that, according to the article, Agriculture Giant Giumarra Calls Its Farm Workers 'Stupid Indian,' a 17-year-old female worker on one of their farms was sexually harassed and after she and a few other workers complained to management about the disgusting behavior, both the victim and those who stood up for her were fired. WTF?
It must be awesome to work in a place where you don't feel safe, are treated like garbage, called "stupid indian" and told you are useless. F THOSE PUTOS! I'm glad those people stood up to them even though they were fired. I'll stand with them too! I just signed a petition written to Kroger, one of the biggest customers of Giumarra's produce, telling them to not accept the worker mistreatment.

We were totally in sync today! lol Well, at least as far as our blog themes were concerned. ;)
Oh yeah! I signed the petition! F'en b'tards!
Son of a gun!! Consider that petition signed by me as well!
These Giumarra people are the worst of the worst as far as treating other human beings as human beings. They have had constant and I do mean constant complaints against them but they continue to infringe upon people human rights.
All I can say is: #^$*%^($&?!! yes that!
