"Working in the fields is not in itself a degrading job. It's hard, but if you're given regular hours, better pay, decent housing, unemployment and medical compensation, pension plans--we have a very relaxed way of living. But the growers don't recognize us as persons. That's the worst thing, the way they treat you. Like we have no brains. They have only a wallet in their head. The more you squeeze it, the more they cry out." (Roberto Acuna, farm worker)
"You have to be terribly subservient to people. 'Ma'am, can I take your bag?' 'Can I do this?' It was a time when the grape strikers were passing out leaflets. They were very respectful. People'd come into the check stand, they'd say, 'I just bought grapes for the first time because of those idiots outside.' I had to put their grapes in the bag and thank them for coming and take them outside to the car. Being subservient made me very resentful." (Brett Hauser, supermarket box boy)
this are some example for the book and this is just a portion of it it sounds like things don't change for the laborer.

Hello GL - I produce a weekly music/media program for WRMI (shortwave) called Imaginary Stations. Each week we create an imaginary station and soon we are recording WORK - songs and music related to work. I am wondering if we could have your permission to include the audio portion of your book report as part of our program?
