| Ex-braceros sue to gain billion $$$ taken from pay and never returned |
||||
| We join ex-braceros among us marching on Wells Fargo Bank in downtown Fresno as they demand return of nearly$1,000,000,000 taken from their pay and never returned.The $$$ were first deposited in Wells Fargo. From1942to 1964 some 2.5 million Mexicans workedon U.S. farms and railroads as indenturedservants under the Bracero program. Low pay. Norights. 10% of their pay was deducted as an allegedsavings program. They were to get those $$$ onreturn to Mexico. They never got them. Some $1billion. No one cops to knowing where the $$$ are,so ex-braceros are now suing to get back pay from as long ago as 1942. |
