The Pacific Northwest United Farm Workers headquarters in Hermiston applauded legislation introduced this week for provisions granting farm and agricultural workers a speedier path to citizenship.

“We’re very proud of the work that has been done for agriculture,” said UFW regional director Jorge Valenzuela. “This compromise allows for more protections for farm workers and establishes a stable agricultural workforce.”
