Some Republicans buck bill for farmworkers to get legal status
âReconciliation is always a possibility,â a Senate leader says July 23, 2021 11:48 AM By Megan U. Boyanton
Top Democrats are weighing a pathway to bypass Republicans and revamp the immigration system for farmworkers to alleviate a labor shortage exacerbated by heat waves and pandemic-related dislocations.
Labor activists and agriculture industry groups are working together to push through
the Farm Workforce Modernization Act (H.R. 1603), which would create a program for agricultural workers to earn legal status. The House passed the bill in March. It has stalled in the Senate, raising the prospect of budget reconciliation, a maneuver that would allow Democrats to pass legislation without GOP support.
Foster Farms meatpacking workers vote to strike at California facility
On July 18 workers at the Foster Farms chicken processing plant in Compton, California voted down a contract proposal by the company that would have slashed their health care benefits. The last contract for the 250 workers at the plant, many of whom are paid the hourly minimum wage for Los Angeles County of $15.00 per hour, expired last year, but had been extended by the Teamsters union.

The plant, located in an impoverished and dilapidated working class neighborhood in Los Angeles County (with household incomes of under $30,000), employs immigrant and black workers, who have few other options for employment. There is a permanently placed sign on the front of the plant offering jobs, suggesting a large turnover.
