STORYLINE:

RR7031A USA: CALIFORNIA'S MIGRANT WORKERS

The miserable plight of America's migrant farm
workers has been a subject of scandal and concern
ever since John Steinbeck's famous novel "The
Grapes of Wrath". The problem's particularly acute in
California, where grape-pickers ran a five-year strike
against growers to win union recognition and other
civil rights. That strike has just ended in victory for the
migrants, but a lot more still needs to be done to
eradicate what a US Senate Investigating Committee
has called "a national disgrace". This Report was
filmed in the Wasco Valley, where we spoke to
workers in the melon fields and to a nurse in a
union-controlled health clinic.
