"That happened in November." And, you're still upset? That was how
many years ago again??

I was not upset, it was Harry who started this thread. I really
thought it was over 2 years ago when they agreed to pay the penny.

It turns out a ****ing match between the union and the growers trade
group held up the money for most of that time.


Except it wasn't a union, as someone else pointed out. It was a trade
association. Quite different!


There were two groups, The growers association and the Coalition of
Immokalee Workers.
You can find articles blaming both of them for holding up the money.
It started as $2 million, how much do you figure is left after the
lawyers take their cut.


And, according to you, it should all done without the benefit of legal
advice....
