As investigators peeled back the layers into a mass shooting at two mushroom farms in Half Moon Bay, state and local officials uncovered cramped living conditions and allegations of low wages at the farms.
As new details emerge in the aftermath of the Half Moon Bay mass shooting that left seven farmworkers dead, the massacre also highlights the harsh living and working conditions that some of those farmworkers endured.
The announcement comes a week after a disgruntled employee allegedly opened fire last at California Terra Garden and nearby Concord Farms,Some farmworkers had come forward to shed light on what they've had to endure at the farms, such as living in shipping containers and wooden shacks. Some of the single-room dwellings lacked running water and insulation, San Mateo County Supervisor Ray Mueller said.
"The conditions farmworkers shared with the Governor — being paid $9 an hour and living in shipping containers — are simply deplorable," the governor's office said in a statement last week. "That is no way to live. California is investigating the farms involved in the Half Moon Bay shootings to ensure workers are treated fairly and with the compassion they deserve.
"The company will also continue providing above-market wages and benefits to all its team members," the company said.
