I have today reintroduced a bill that would extend the National Labor Relations Act to cover agricultural workers. I have sponsored this bill for many years. and believe that it is just as needed nowprobably more neededthan at any time. The plight of farmworkers in general and migrant workers in particular has long been known to the people of this country. and I need not recite here the long list of ills and injustices these patient. hardworking people have undergone for years on end. As a member of the Texas State Senate. I had the honor to be the first member of that body to introduce a package of legislation to protect and benefit farmworkers.
