said Gurcharan Dhillon, an ACS legal advocate for immigrant labourers.

Gurcharan Dhillon, who helps seasonal farmworkers through the Legal Advocacy program at Abbotsford Community Services, said it is a human safety concern."Definitely, there should be seat belts for the farmworkers," she said. Meanwhile, one of the witnesses to the crash told the Abbotsford News he saw three passengers running away from the van after the accident, a point also reported to Manpreet Grewal, manager of Multicultural and Immigrant Services at Abbotsford Community Services. She said she is concerned about the safety and treatment of farmworkers, and the fact that many of them live in fear.

said Gurcharan Dhillon, an ACS legal advocate for immigrant labourers.

Although there are regulations, labour contractors, who co-ordinate work crews that go out to do field work or to greenhouses, may cut corners.To help educate local farm workers and their employers, ACS created a video called "Choices," which encourages the labourers to demand safe working and travelling conditions.

However, Grewal and Dhillon are not hopeful things will change soon.

They'll never have a mother," Dhillon said.
