Hi, Op Ed.  Re: decent wage.  Until quite recently, many growers did pay starvation wages and got away with it.  On the other side, it's now getting tough to pay illegal immigrants less than minimum.  Too many strikes, sit-downs and social action now in places like Georgia, Florida and the Carolinas over the last couple of years.  So, in many areas, the exploitation is not as pervasive as it once was.  Many well-known branded food companies have also bowed to the insistent pressure.
