US Secretary of Labor Visits Los Angeles

Bringing encouragement and support to California farmworkers, Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis came to Los Angeles to announce a $38 million dollar employment and training grant for the state's farmworkers. 

She emphatically stated that her department intends to insure that all workers be paid what they are owed.  Under a new campaign, entitled "We Can Help", citizens can call 1-866-487-9243 and receive help in several different languages. The DOL website for the campaign is: http://www.dol.gov/wecanhelp/. It is wonderful to see and hear Dolores Huerta, co-founder of the United Farm Workers, in a short video at the main website.
