Stephen Franklin says some of the worst worker abuses are in food-processing and farming -- where government is a huge purchaser:
You would think that after many decades of farmworker abuse and increased public awareness of such conditions, life would be far better today for the Florabeth de la Garzas who harvest and process what we eat. But that is not the case -- even with federal and state protections and the efforts of unions and worker-advocacy and human-rights groups.
