All this while the "class action" cases are on the increase. At the same time. the overburdened taxpayer loses "coming and going" so to speak. as his tax dollars are used both to initiate the suits and to defend themall when he may not agree with. and has no say in the political philosophy being advocated by the plaintiffs bringing the suit. Recently hearings have been conducted before the Senate Subcommittee on Migratory Labor on the "powerlessness of the migrant worker." I think this is a prime example of the powerlessness of the American taxpayer. One socalled law reform example is the recent petition filed requesting the Food and Drug Administration to set a zero tolerance level for the use of DDT on raw agricultural products. No matter whether one supports or does not support the efforts of the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee to unionize the table grape pickers in California and Arizona. it is clear that UFWOC is presently employing the pesticide usage issueparticularly as it relates to DDTto assist its boycott of table grapes.
