H2-A labor pencils out to $20 per hour. I’m paying tractor drivers $26 per hour, plus safety bonus, plus acre bonus, plus end of year bonus, plus 100% medical insurance for employee with 50% for dependents, plus paid sick leave. I think you folks need to pay more for your vegetables.
No it does not. Pencil in taxes and that 20 per hour is what?
Amen. We should be proud to purchase American grown quality produce.
I think we need to grow our own.
I think you folks need to pay more for your vegetables.
...
Why?
I’m ok with paying more for back-to-basics produce, flour, etc., especially if that means decent jobs for Americans. I know that the claims of lettuce going to five bucks a head and staying there are lies.
You wouldn’t hire an American even if one wanted a job. You wouldn’t go against the Mexican mafia. I hope you choke on your artichokes.
