Friel cannery which began its business over 100 years ago. It is the last corn cannery left out of 300 on the shore. Ten years ago they couldnt find local workers. They turned to the H2B. Since then. many workers come each season and then go home year after year. They have helped this country maintain its American workforce and paved the way for local workers to return to the cannery. There are now 190 seasonal workers. but there are 75 people working in the cannery full time. and an additional 70 farmers and additional suppliers. This summer I went over to the shore. after we had a successful victory last year giving this legislation a temporary exemption. to meet with the Latino women.
