Facts About Farmworkers Revealed

NYFB presents a selection of video clips from a recent public hearing on labor issues in Jefferson County. The hearing was conducted by Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Darrel Aubertine, and panelists included experts in labor law, farmers, and farm workers and farm worker advocates.

The selection features NYFB President Dean Norton, Jefferson County’s own Jay Matteson, and Tom Maloney from Cornell Cooperative Extension. Additionally, the Catholic Charities' Deacon David Sweenie discusses the need to enforce current laws, and talks about how farmworkers do, indeed, vote with their feet to find the best employment situation.
