Crimson Like Tabloid

With Tuesday's piece on the grape debate titled "Grape Workers Recount Difficult-Conditions." The Crimson has descended further into the realm of tabloid journalism.

The Crimson fails to verify claims of this worker, such as the one that the California Occupational Safety and Health Administration "would not investigate [her rash] further."This worker was provided by the UFW, but The Crimson feels it could wait until the final sentence of the article to inform its readers of this.

The translator for this woman was the Vice President of the UFW--hardly a person without a stake in what the woman said. But none of this was surprising considering that the title itself is misleading: there is only one worker featured in the story. The Crimson's journalistic irresponsibility is disconcerting. --David M. Lehn '99
