BAKERSFIELD, CA - AUGUST 09, 2011 - Farm workers lined up as they leave a field of chili peppers for a break at a farms in the Bakersfield area, August 09, 2011. In 2005, after several farmworkers died of heat exhaustion, California enacted landmark regulations requiring employers to provide what might seem like the most basic things: water, restrooms and shade for workers. Six years later, records show, employers commonly flout the requirements without real consequences. (Ricardo DeAratanha/Los Angeles Times)
