Field Workers

The wine-grapes pickers in Pirelli-Minetti's Californian fields are all unionized, as the growers have signed a contract with the union. In the wineries most work on the incentive scale, rather than hourly. It is dirty, unpleasant, hard work - grapes, leaves and all are ripped from the vines and tossed into a hopper feeding the truck which moves down the row. (AP Newsfeatures Photo 1/7/70) |
