" By Beth Shuster. Los Angeles Times, March 28, 2002. Lt. Gov. Bustamante joins with UFW in trying to get the word out to people who likely don't even know they are eligible. In an effort to reach former farm laborers who are owed pension benefits, Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante and the United Farm Workers are trying a new approach: public service television ads in English and Spanish. Bustamante, who will begin recording the advertisements today, said he offered to help the UFW in the union's efforts to reach the thousands of aging farm workers who are eligible for pension funds. Only those farm laborers who worked under a UFW contract are entitled to the money, but UFW officials estimate that could be about 2,000 people.... http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-000022418mar28.story The plan covered in the article is de la Cruz Farm Workers Pension Plan. Two phone numbers listed in the article were: (888) 735-5352 and (800) 321-6607. V Bletzer. Dep of Anthropology, Arizona State Univ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
