The California Report
Back Pay for Braceros

This week, some of the first Mexican guest workers to labor in California's fields can sign up for some long-overdue back pay. A U.S. court has approved a class action settlement between the workers, known as braceros, and the Mexican government. But the deal only benefits some of the oldest surviving guest workers.
