This sorta 'splains the $0.33 a pound onions at Ley's in Coahuila, huh, Snowy?
A group of 28 unidentified farm workers were rescued from a farm near Parral, Chihuahua, where they worked for about six months, according to Mexican news reports.
The workers disappeared from the central Mexican state of Queretaro last March, and were working in onion and tomato fields at El Rancho San Miguel Escalona in southern Chihuahua until one of the workers got word out to relatives.
The workers had apparently been lured to Chihuahua by promises of better farm wages, hours and benefits than usually paid, but instead were paid about 100 pesos a day ( USD $7.97 ) with 13 hour days and confinement without food.
Reports say local Ministry of Labor officials made the offer of employment to the workers to get them to Chihuahua.
This case is similar to about 66 farm workers lured from the Mexican state of Puebla to an area near Hermosillo, Sonora by promises of better wages only to find conditions different than advertised.
