Bilingual guest commentary — Farmworkers Who Picked Driscoll’s Strawberries in Oxnard File Suit Alleging Stolen Wages

by Community Contributor • April 17, 2023 • Comments Off

17 farmworkers filed a lawsuit today in the Ventura County Superior Court of California, alleging that they were not fully paid for picking Driscoll’s strawberries during the 2022 harvesting season.

Seventh Tree Farm, a farm labor contractor and corporation based in Oxnard, CA hired the workers to pick Driscoll’s strawberries and promised to pay workers $2.10 for each box of strawberries that they picked. However, the complaint alleges that the employers systematically undercounted the number of boxes that workers picked, resulting in widespread wage theft.

According to the lawsuit, Seventh Tree Farm also frequently required many workers to work overtime on weekends, paying them in cash or personal check but failing to pay overtime premiums required by law. In many cases, workers were paid below the minimum wage for the hours they spent performing harvesting work. The workers lodged complaints with managers about the failure to pay accurately, but managers refused to address the issues.

Bilingual commentary — Can I Just Talk with a Human?

by Community Contributor • April 14, 2023 • Comments Off

One day some months back, I needed to talk with my bank about a suspicious charge on my credit card. I wasn’t as naïve to think that somebody would pick up the phone when I called. But I innocently believed that I would be talking with a person after listening to a brief “menu” and punching a couple of buttons.

Then I entered “chatbot hell.”

“Thank you for calling the Local Bank. What are you calling about?” the robot cheerily asked me.

“Credit card,” I answered.

A pause.

“Did you say, ‘debit card’?”

“No, I responded,” incredulous that it didn’t understand me the first time. “Credit card.”

“I’m sorry,” my chatbot said with no detectable remorse. “I’m not understanding your reply. What are you calling about?”

I started to become wary of this supposedly artificial “intelligence.” But I thought I would give it a chance and comply with its requests as best I could.
