2. I see the State, appropriately, has shut down the labor contractor -

(from the AP story in the Mercury News)

Last week, state officials shut down her employer, Merced Farm Labor, saying the company denied her proper access to shade and water.

On Wednesday, lawyers representing her mother filed a wrongful death suit in Merced County Superior Court against the farm labor contractor, its operator and the vineyard where she was working.

Labor Commissioner Angela Bradstreet is also in the process of revoking the contractor's license permanently.
