the representation as a erupt the u f w the mitigation law in a state appointed mediator issued a 3 year contract that has retrofit but to date this company has failed to pay the workers the increased wages they've continued to take a stand guns employee rights and the farms is currently using some of the worse tactics to bust this union and if there's any question how far they're willing to go many of you received the nominees that provided a lot of information this company has employed right

wing groups like the center for the workers freedom to launch a worker campaign those groups funded by the brothers seek to use the farms as an example against employee organizing efforts he time to make sure they bust this union here in california because if they succeed here they'll succeed in the rest of the country therefore today as we celebrate the birthday of this important man caesar chavez the best was 80 way to honor and however his memento support of workers for whom i gave his life we are in this chamber honored to have present of dozens of hundreds of workers that came to work here those workers had taken today

off which means mayor is making the sacrifice not getting paid there because that is important they know how the board of supervisors in san francisco votes will send a clear message not only to the rest of the state but the rest of the country if i may i want to ask a question to the president of the unit farm workers who again have traveled very far there was and then e-mail sent by the corporate entity providing a lot of information to set the record straight the president of the united farm workers if the rules allow him to respond and clarify some of the issues that were

sent to the board of supervisors. >> colleagues, can we do that this we'll take that without objection. >> if i may ask the president of the united farm workers to say a few words in response to the e-mail that was sent by the company. >> the san francisco mr. president. >> good afternoon madam president, of the board of supervisors here in san francisco county and all the board of supervisors that are here present with us today and certainly supervisor campos for introducing the resolution and the two supervisors that joined with us the farmers we're excited that the fact you come out and spent a couple of imaginations listening to the farmers stories we've gone across the state of california to really now you

contract implemented with this company and setting wamgz and working conditions to be oozed and farm and ground company that's all we're asking we all are subjected to the laws of this state and abide by those laws and ask this employer do the same eye respect the rights of the workers there were a lot of comments and information provided to you that actually is not true farm workers make $11 an hour and should be making under the contract 11, 25 an hour we estimate since the beginning when this contract was implement farmers lost more than $18 and what takes place with thousands

of workers that's in the million dollar of wages workers have though the received in addition to the protections and their ability to have a voice and in addition to the working conditions for this company so we are very thankful to be here with the san francisco board of supervisors and we're thankful that you are looking at this particular situation and we urge your support for those farm workers that bring fruits and vegetables primarily table grapes and other things to our tables in san francisco county thank you very much and thank you. >> thank you, mr. president, (clapping) madam president i forgot to thank my co-sponsor supervisor avalos and just i'll simply by
