Another worthless post I'm guessing you're a typical family values type of guy.
Anyways, hope we get some gentle rain soon. I'll be spending most of my summer fortifying the casita in preparation for a long hurricane season.

Baja farmworkers win pay hike in landmark deal, but fall short of goal
Highlights:
Strike ends as farmworkers accept pact with Baja growers that falls short of 200-peso daily wage
Landmark agreement: Striking Mexico farmworkers win wage hikes in Baja California
"Coward! Rat!" farmworkers shout at Baja California governor after announcement of labor accord
------
Volatile farm labor strike that crippled exports from one of Mexico’s key agricultural regions ended Thursday night with an unprecedented accord that
boosts wages as much as 50% for thousands of laborers in Baja California.
Although the agreement is considered a landmark achievement for a farm labor movement in Mexico, the mood was subdued after labor leaders learned that
the federal government was pulling its offer to provide subsidies to reach the 200-peso daily wage rate -- about $13 -- sought by laborers.
The agreement reached after a six-hour negotiating session calls for a three-tiered compensation system. Large farms will pay workers 180 pesos per
day; medium farms, 165 pesos; and small farms, 150.
Since most work at large agribusinesses, the wage increase amounts to about $4 per day for many of the estimated 30,000 workers in the region 200
miles south of San Diego.
“This isn’t the agreement that laborers were hoping for … but we made significant gains,” farmworker leader Fermin Salazar said after the meeting.
After the meeting at a salon in a San Quintin restaurant, Baja California state officials beat a hasty retreat, fearing that news of the accord could
upset laborers. Gov. Francisco Vega de Lamadrid had to push his way through an angry crowd yelling epithets and banging on his SUV.
“Coward! Rat!” yelled the crowd.

that the federal government was pulling its offer to provide subsidies to reach the 200-peso daily wage rate -- about $13 -- sought by laborers.
The proposed government subsidy to the workers wages was BS from the jump. They just don't have the funds for it. And it was the governor of Ensenada,
Kiko Verga, who proposed the state government subsidy, not the federal government.
