Farm overtime hearing was 'disgrace,' says son of lifelong farm worker

Incensed after Hispanic farm workers were disrespected by State Senators Rebecca Saldaña and Karen Keiser during the Feb. 9 Senate Labor & Commerce Committee hearing on agricultural overtime, Enrique Gastelum tells Dillon his farm worker father would be outraged. Gastelum, head of farm labor organization wafla, called Saldaña's and Keiser's handling of the hearing "disgraceful," calling out how the state Senators not only suggested the farm workers testifying were ignorant on the topic of the hearing, but also deliberately mistranslated and editorialized their testimony while denying access to the certified translator in the room.
