A Journey Into The Darkness
The streaming noise of the freeway reverberating in my head plays like a soundtrack to my staring session with the ceiling. It is close to four a.m. on a Thursday. I estimate that the final live-haul truck of the night is arriving at its endpoint. When mid-morning arrives, the truck will unload its cargo—5,000 chickens—at the processing plant located one hour away from my home. “I wish I was there with you,” I think to myself. “I will return soon.” I cover my ears with the melodic voice of Ja...

Anti-War Rallies Continue in Sacramento Saturday, Sept. 3
The need to withdraw from the occupation of Iraq becomes more urgent as we
see scenes from the devastation of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast from
Hurricane Katrina. The massive flooding and thousands of deaths in New
Orleans are direct results of the Bush regime's failure to complete repairs
of the levees surrounding the city. Rather than spend the $250 million
needed for levee repairs, the Bush regime chose to divert the money to the
war in Iraq. In addition, thousands of National Guar...

Those workers who have been denied these benefits are hired through farm labor contractors (FLCs), which are third party agencies. This contract loophole denies 75 percent...
