California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed a bill this week that would have given farm workers paid overtime after working more than 40 hours a week. Currently, California law only requires time and a half for farm workers after 10 hours a day, or 60 hours a week. Recently, United Farm Workers launched a campaign called Take Our Jobs, daring American citizens and legal residents to take jobs doing farm work. Our colleague, Delores M Bernal took that challenge and files this Reporters Notebook from the San Joaquin Valley in Central California.
