[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper which
discusses how the Latino population is treated in the food industry in this country. The
information obtainable indicates that there is no solid proof of the exploitation of the
Latino population in the food industry today. That, however, perhaps only indicates that in
larger areas, or areas where Latinos know their legal rights, and places of employment that
are large companies, such as McDonalds and Denny's, the Latino population is not
exploited, but that such may well be the case in smaller areas where the Latino population
is not large, or where the establishment is small and privately owned. Bibliography lists 4
sources.
