Thanks to Kathy Johnston’s comprehensive reporting, I have added “SIP certified” to my vocabulary (“Farmworkers with 401Ks,” Oct. 29).
It is great to know that the folks who do the back-breaking physical labor that puts beautiful wines on our tables are being acknowledged and rewarded. That these hardworking folks can build a future from their industry gives me faith in the growing consciousness of my community.
Kudos also to Steve E. Miller for his excellent photos. Good going, New Times: That’s a great article in every aspect.
