Saying the time to act is now, farm workers began a 167-mile pilgrimage up the Central Valley to Sacramento to press for enactment of the Fair Treatment for Farm Workers Act.

‘The Fair Treatment For Farm Workers Now’ March began August 23, 2011 in Madera. The march organized by the United Farm Workers, will end on September 4th, Labor Day weekend, at the State Capitol.

The march entered our labor council’s jurisdiction on yesterday and many Sacramento Labor leaders joined marchers as they entered Sacramento County.

The last leg of the march will take place Saturday, September 4th. Marchers will meet at Southside Park (T and 8th Streets) in Sacramento that day at 10 AM and march to the State Capitol for a rally that will begin at 12 PM.
