Advocates warn new law could cripple Washington farms A new Washington State law forces farms to post public notices for routine seasonal staffing changes, a move farmers say adds pointless red tape.

"This new law is a loss for farmworkers and family farmers, and a win for overbearing big government, the litigation industry, and anti-farm activists.”

Farmers' group guest writer: Demonizing farms doesn’t help farmworkers | Cascadia Daily News Local labor activists’ offensive rhetoric demeans the very people they claim to champion

Farmworkers arriving legally under H-2A aren’t part of a “quasi-slave labor force," they’re dedicated individuals striving to support themselves and their families.

We had a lot more to say about this. You can read it all here: www.cascadiadaily.com/2025/aug/20/...

I only required my children to say one “prayer” at the table, that was to thank every person who brought the food to the table.. from the seed companies, to the farmers and workers, to the truck drivers, the store and stand workers and the cooks.. the whole litany

#Washington’s ag #overtime law is costing #farmworkers the hours and pay they need. The data now proves what #farmers and workers warned: this law backfired.

Time to stop the political posturing & fix it.

It was so wonderful to attend the Madera Chamber of Commerce event last night to honor Jim Unti, a lifelong Madera County farmer with more than 80 years of dedication to agriculture. #farmers #localfarmers #localagriculture #CelebrateAgriculture #madera #ProtectAgriculture #ProtectFarmworkers

At the top of the image is the United Farm Workers (UFW) logo with a red and black stylized eagle and the slogan “Sí, Se Puede!” beneath it. The main headline, in large bold black text, reads: “Whatever Trump's decision of the day is: farm workers are in danger.” The body text describes a chaotic Father’s Day weekend following contradictory messages from the Trump administration. It recounts that although the President announced a pause on immigration raids at agricultural worksites, the UFW received reports from children whose fathers were detained. The raids appeared to continue despite the supposed pause, with immigration agents described as “circling like sharks.” Part of the text is emphasized in bold and red to express urgency: “Because starting Friday before dawn we had kids calling us as they tracked their dads to detention facilities with air tags… That sure didn’t sound like the raids had stopped to us. And we were right.” The final paragraph reiterates that DHS reversed the pause and resumed raids on farms and hotels. The closing line, in bold, reinforces the headline: “Whatever Trump's decision of the day is: farm workers are in danger.” On the right side of the image is a photo of two U.S. Border Patrol trucks parked beside a road, taken during early morning or dusk, with palm trees and dim streetlights in the background.

New Message from @ufw.bsky.social: No pause on raids!

These are the WORKERS being targeted by the regime: toiling at backbreaking work for little money.

If Washington State Senator Rebecca Saldaña wants to continue to promote herself as an advocate for farmworkers here in Washington State, she needs to start listening to those actual workers.

Time to speak up LOUD against the tariffs Trump/Republicans trying to bring, force on America.. Pic says-- Honda and Toyota are preparing to execute plans to shut down assembly lines in the US bc they are not willing to pay the 25% premium on materials. Tens of thousands of workers in plants in Ohio, Kentucky, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Georgia will be sent home without pay. The effect on those workers and the communities they shop in will make the price of eggs seem completely insignificant.
