By Amy Lieu -October 19, 2020 3:39 PM
The Trump administration is slashing pay for farmworkers, which could benefit Donald Trump himself.
The country's largest farmworkers union sued the Trump administration on Wednesday for pulling the plug on an essential U.S. Department of Agriculture survey.
The move could slash farmworkers' pay and even "personally benefit" Donald Trump, the group said.
In September, the USDA announced it was suspending its semi-annual Farm Labor Survey, which provides the basis for wage estimates for all workers hired by U.S. farms and ranches.
The USDA has used the survey to collect data on farm labor and wages for more than 100 years.
