California bans the pulling of weeds by hand on most farms By JENNIFER COLEMAN - AP
SACRAMENTO -- California became the first state Thursday to ban weeding by hand on most farms, saying the work is too backbreaking for laborers.
Under a rule approved by the California Occupational Safety and Health Division, farmworkers, in most cases, will not have to stoop to pull weeds, but will instead be given long-handled tools that will allow them to work without bending over. The rule takes effect within two weeks.------------------------------------------- posted 3:19 PM :: reference link ::
