Vineyard Labor and the Law
Vineyard Labor and the Law
Jan 25, 2011 6
Sacramento, Calif.—Speakers representing human resources, academia and California agriculture exchanged ideas about vineyard labor this morning, and a comment from Mike Carlton, director of the labor division for the Florida Fruit & Vegetable Association, summarized the overall message: “If you don’t make your voice heard, no one will listen."
Carlton was one of four panelists who spoke today during the first general session of the 2011 Unified Wine & Grape Symposium. Although the session was billed in the Unified program as “Needed: People,” it could just as well have been called “How Immigration Affects Farm Owners.”
