"EXCEPT FARMWORKERS"
a documentary by Peter K. Monahan, 1994, (20 min).
This documentary explores the exclusion of seasonal agricultural
workers from the Washington State Universal Health Care Bill in
1993 and the subsequent struggle to include them. Reasons behind
the initial exemption are discussed and support for their inclusion
is presented.
The Washington State Health Care plan is serving as a model for
National legislation and other states. This video is an important
educational tool in the struggle to prevent similar compromises.

Dear Penners,
This new video has just become available on the exclusion of farmworkers
from the Washington State Universal Health Care Bill. The video, "Except
Farmworkers" was used in the Washington State Legislature in the struggle
to include farmworkers. It is an excellent, short production which will be
useful to community groups working on this and related worker issues.
Please pass the information along to interested groups.
