's fruit growers are being warned that so-called radical labour activists may try to trespass on to their farms this summer and impersonate government officials. "These activists wish to identify and even create problems with SAWP workers on your farm," the B.C. Fruit Growers' Association said in a May 11 newsletter to its members. Concerns with food safetyGlen Lucas, the BCFGA's general manager, said the letter was sent to members after a recent meeting where Fraser Valley activists said they had been visiting farms in the Okanagan. Mettler said its members don't need permission to visit workers on the farm, since the workers pay rent to live there.
