SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY authorities may press criminal charges against Merced Farm Labor. Merced Farm Labor was issued not one, not two, but THREE citations in 2006 for failing to protect its workers from heat stroke, and for failing to train them in heat stress prevention. Forget the fact for the moment that Merced did not even provide toilets for these employees who worked so hard in the heat for them and to bring you and I fruit for our tables and refrigerators. I don't even ask you to think of these ill-treated workers every time you enjoy the taste of sweet, ripe, grapes.
