Interesting how we learn this from a British news source. I heart the Independent. I also like their title for this piece. I wish it were true. I wish we would be shamed into doing things differently.

Growers - whether engaging in these kinds of horrors or just 'straightforward' exploitation - are some of the worst bosses out there. The stories I hear time and again are nothing but horrific - I think there are almost no exceptions to at least "straightforward exploitation." That's what first came to mind reading about this--- "oh, well, this is extreme, but just more of the same kind of way migrant workers are treated all over California, Florida, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming, Ohio........." And we - as a nation - as a people - afford migrant workers NO rights and if certain people get their way they will have fewer than none.
