(Sacramento) – California farmworkers are not receiving the protections they need and deserve under current laws. Speaker Emeritus Fabian Núñez traveled to the fields of California’s Central Valley and documented the devastating and sometimes fatal conditions farmworkers face everyday as they harvest the food that feeds America. California’s Harvest of Shame, a short documentary showing some of the current conditions facing California farmworkers, is narrated by Speaker Emeritus Núñez and includes a prologue and epilogue by actor and activist Martin Sheen. Speaker Emeritus Núñez wrote Assembly Bill 2386 in response to the deplorable situation farmworkers face each day. AB 2386 authorizes secret ballot elections for farmworkers and helps ensure that the laws on our books match the realities in the fields. - googler
