Life for Tomatoes
As I read the article The Price of Tomatoes i could almost see the farmers living in shacks and trailers of trucks, with no bathrooms, no running water, and just enough to barley survive. I feel there should be some way for the government or law enforcement to take the owners/bosses of these companys down. A way to take the owners to court and prosecute them. As if they were to goto trial they should have paper work showing how much work is done and how much workers there are, also to show the necessary paper work for them and how much work each of the workers produce. Also if illegals are found the fines should be really harsh even jail time where they would either be fired from the company or basiclly have to sell the company. So someone who actually will run the company right will take over and hire legit workers and help stop these acts of slavery.

As much as I agree with you eldon. It would be hard to do such a thing economic wise and agriculture wise. the reasoning being is that these farmers have a monopoly going on and as a country for us to do that would be a disaster. Only because it would be a huge set back in the labor industry. If we were to do such a thing the set back would be so horrendous that it would screw up so many other industries that rely on the shipment. In the end we will be doing the right thing but a lot of people aren't willing to do such a thing because of that set back it could lead to a huge number of layoffs and so forth
I felt the same way when I read the article because I think that people who take advantage of others, to that degree, get the punishment they deserve but even more.
Nobody deserves to be treated unhumanely!
But finding good, honest people in the world seems to be scarce because of greed. "Money makes the world go round."
Hopefully one day soon, slavery will be gone from every place.
