Lupe Williams, who teaches sociology and Spanish in the workplace at Ohio State University, asked bluntly, "Was this legislation passed to discriminate against Latinos? "

A usual suspect speaks for the left.

Angry that farmworkers, many of them Latinos, are excluded from Ohio’s new minimum-wage increase, a labor group yesterday threatened to launch a constitutional legal challenge.

Funny, I do not hear anyone bitching about Pelosi exempting Samoans from the federal minimum wage increase, and merely for political donations from Del Monte.

I was "excluded from" the minimum wage while a farm worker in the early 80's. I didn't piss and moan, I got a better job.

Of course that requires doing something by and for youself, a distant concept for some.

I hope they win!

And I hope all Republicans support this.

The best way to get Democrats to become Republicans is to force them to live by their own rules.

There will unemployment. More expensive food, etc.

NO! Agriculture wages have always been much lower than minimum wages, even for those who work on gigantic "family" farms, even before the influx of Latino labor.
