it still continues today as you know, any way we can continue to help, the movement, the ufw, the foundationbecause that's what the whole goal of this thing is, to kopt to help those folks that work so hard to put food on our tables and nourish our spirit. >> i always tell folks when we go out in the field with our cameras, that the cameras can show you the work they're doing, but the lens can't show you the aches in our backs or the dust inside their eyelids. it's all there and what cesar did to make their lives a little bit better can't be taken for granted. >> that's correct and it's beautiful. let us not forget the great lady and she's very much a part of this. >> you want to talk about her? >> oh, yeah, we have to honor. she's our -- you know, god mother. >> we have the information. tell us about the fund-raiser in sacramento. a short drive in san francisco, san jose and oakland. >> correct. it would be really worthwhile to come support this, so we can, as we say, finish the documentary in our time sper perspective and we're having a lot of these clips of the documentary, like a trailer

and support the agreement that has been reached between the diverse coalition of grower interest in the ufw. considering support for that agreement all across the farming community, i am not sure -- something completely new opposed by members of that community. at least two elements of that deal that will prevent it from ever becoming law. 1770 three provides an opportunity for undocumented farmworkers to apply for a temporary worker visa created in the bill. those would only allow workers to remain here for a time of 18 months. even if they have been here for decades and have spouses and children in the united states. the reality is, this proposal will not work. by asking such people to come out of the shadows, registered, and obtain a temporary visa, we are essentially asking them to report to deep or. -- deport. they will not have access to the workers they need going forward. the other would dramatically reduce wages and other protection for farmworkers who are already the least played p paid workers in the united states. it would create a program with lower wages and fewer protections.

it is with great pleasure that my fellow panelest today, arturo rodriguez, president of the ufw joins us in support of this legislation. i would also like to emphasize that reaching this agreement would have been simply impossible without the leadership, tenacity and commitment of senator dianne feinstein. senator feinstein joined in the process of course by senators marco rubio, senator benett and senator hatch, foster ad spirit of unity that was ultimately necessary to produce this agreement. the agricultural provisions in this legislation represent our best chance in over a decade or longer to solve the labor shortage in agriculture. the program outlined in the bill includes two key components. a blue card program where current experienced farmworkers, for current and experienced farmworkers and a new agricultural visa program to meet future labor needs. agriculture today admits the reality that a majority of our current workforce is undocumented. despite producers good-faith efforts to verify the status of their employees. in the short term the legislation provides that current un

the farm worker story? those that read that one? you remember in this context, in this moment what they wanted? >> is it recognition for ufw? > marshall ganz: yeah, it was recognition and it wound up being recognition from a particular employer, schenley industries, a big liquor company in vallejo. and union recognition means a contract signed between the workers and the unions specifying wages, hours, working conditions and all the rest. very, very concrete objective. right? but that was, like, the focus of their efforts so that they could then move toward the bigger goals of broader justice and all the rest of it. and so the whole point about outcomes is specifying them clearly enough that you can actually focus in and commit to making it happen or not. and, and i think a lot of it'sow to specify the place tha between, you know, justice out there, goodness in the world and, like, my next meeting. >> bill moyers: suppose one of those students said to you, "professor ganz, i know that the farm workers were out-financed and outmanned. and i know they were opposed by business owners and other labor leaders spurned them. yet, y
