Chalk up another one for the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW), the Florida-based community organization that has been trying for decades to improve the grim lot of migrant tomato pickers, most of whom toil for less than minimum wage.

Good news for farmworkers and a great site to bookmark to keep up with such issues: The Politics of the Plate. They do a better job than we ever will.
