intended CANCELLATION of the National Agricultural Worker Survey

[Guest guest]

I am writing to let you know some disturbing news about the intended

CANCELLATION of the National Agricultural Worker Survey (NAWS) by the

Bureau of Labor. There is a very narrow window of opportunity for

immediate response--PLEASE write your congressman and senators, the

Secretary of Labor and Assistant Secretary for Policy (contact

information below) regarding the importance of NAWS. This is the ONLY

national source of data we have on farmworkers, and the government,

through various agencies, has been collecting data on farmworkers

since 1944. With recommendations from many agencies to enhance our

surveillance of special populations, this would be a huge blow and

step backward. Please see the following URL for supporting

information on the NAWS.

The person at the Department of Labor who is in charge of the NAWS is

Vargas-Stidvent who is the Assistant Secretary for Policy.

Her contact information is:

Hi. I had requested a reference from NIOSH who referred me to

Gabbard, and coincidentially had a conversation about the NAWS. Rick

Mines from the California Institute for Rural Studies is coordinating

the effort to save NAWS and his e-mail is rkmines@...

Thanks,
