Recently I came across the article The Ugly Truth Behind Organic Food and it was one of the few places where I've seen a well thought out piece related to the facts concerning organic labor implications.  As someone that has been working with food and agricultural workers around the world producing for companies like Wal-Mart, Dole, and DelMonte, I have heard workers over and over again talk about the labor rights violations in the fields.  And generally speaking the workers are treated the same on conventional and organic farms and processing facilities.  

Here is an excerpt from the Ugly Truth Behind Organic Food:

Solar panel installation may produce good jobs here. But producing those panels involves dangerous chemicals. The Washington Post recently reported that a supplier to solar panel maker Suntech Power dumped poisonous silicon tetrachloride, a byproduct of polysilicon manufacture, onto fields in Henan Province in China, rather than recycling it.

For those who are unfamiliar, the AGOA is a part of U.S. legislation and significantly liberalizes market access to the US for 37 designated Sub-Saharan African countries. This acts as a catalyst for economic growth by encouraging governments to open their economies and build free markets. US Congress passed AGOA as part of the Trade and Development Act of 2000, and President Bill Clinton signed it into law May 18, 2000. In August 2002, President George W. Bush signed amendments to AGOA that expanded preferential access for eligible sub-Saharan African counties.

Extraction predominantly involves
the Third World. Resources are stolen from
people who live on resource-rich land. Once these people are left with no value they are then
exploited. This is why extraction has become synonymous with exploitation.
Along with the millions of adults forced into labor in extractive industries, millions of children all
over the world are forced into child labor.
