Dear friend
With a value of over 3.5 billion dollars in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties alone, Agriculture is a key part of the vibrant economy of the central coast of Southern California.*
Agriculture’s vibrancy in the U.S. owes it in large to the dedicated and tirelessly workforce, mostly of Mexican origin both documented and undocumented.
While the greatest majority of agricultural employers in the U.S. provide decent, fair and adequate working conditions, there is always room for improvement in terms of oversight from the government.
In that regard, please find today’s press release that highlights some crucial points of a letter from Mexican ambassador, Esteban Moctezuma to U.S. Labor Secretary, Martin J. Walsh that addresses some of the major issues that Mexican field workers face in their labor environment.
Respectfully
Euclides Del Moral
Consul of Mexico in Oxnard
