Pesticides. mechanical equipment. truck and tractor accidents. all contribute to the dangerous aspects of farmwork. Yet. there is no occupational hazard legislation at all. So. time and time again. one thing we can be sure of is that the migrant worker is going to be left out. and he is going to continue to be the most desperately off. pathetic. and disadvantaged person in American life. I think that in decent society this misery and exploitation has to stop somewhere. We have had unemployment insurance for 36 years. and more than $50 billion has been paid out. 80 percent of the work force in this country is now covered. and we want to include about 220.000 farmworkers after all that period. and we are told that we do not know enough about it.
