Farm Labor in the US food system
Most of the farm laborers are paid under the minimum wage. And they are working more
hours than normal people. According to the video that we watched in the class, the
market of the food and farm labor are controlled by the supermarket like Safeway and
Walmart. They paid less in the farm labor to get more profit in food. Our food are very
rely on the farm laborers. I think we need to know the background of the food before
when we are buying or eating. In the video, most of the farm laborers are migrant that
means they move from other countries. They work in the farm because they are not
educated, they cannot speak english fluently. When they move to the US, the only thing
they can do is work in the farm. According to the research, 90% of the americans do not
want to work in the farm. Therefore, immigrant worker plays an important role in
american food production. Most of the immigrants are born in mexico and central
america. In the article of New York times, most of the companies are hiring the
undocumented immigrant workers instead of
American Citizen. To do this, companies
are lowering the wage so that Americans do not want to work in the farm. ? But if you
offer a decent wage and conditions, people do it? (Bronner 1). Therefore, they hire the
guest workers especially Mexicans. Mexicans can work better than Americans in the
farm. Some of the workers are working with H-2 visa which means the company must
pay the minimum wage 9$ per hour. But, they are paid per piece and they can boost

their wages by increasing their productivity. So, the company do not need to care how
many hours they work. I think it is nice because it automatically eliminate the lazy
workers in the farm. They company has less work in fire the workers. They have more
time to focus on quality of the product. ?Philip Martin, one of the researchers and an
economist at the University of California at Davis, estimated that 47 percent of the 2.5
million farm employees are in the United States illegally. Large farms that employ
contract labor tend to have more illegal immigrants than do smaller ones, and fruit and
vegetable growers tend to hire illegal help more often than livestock farmers do, he
said? ( Malone 1). The big company like Walmart tend to reduce their labor expense
because they want to get more profit from the food. Hiring the illegal immigrant and
paying them under minimum wage is the best way to solve the problem. Not only they
hiring the undocumented workers but also they hiring child laborers.
According to the US law, children can work in the farm when they are 12. The
reason is the same as hiring illegal immigrant that they want to make more profit from
the food. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires a minimum of not less than
$4.25
per hour for employees under 20 years of age during their first 90 consecutive
calendar days of employment with an employer. Therefore, the companies reduce their
expense and make more profit. For instance, if the company hiring the American worker
who has social security number, the company must pay the worker minimum wage 9$. If
the company hiring the child or undocumented worker, the wage will lower than 9$. It
can be 6$ or 7$. So, undocumented workers and children help the company to get more
profit.
