SHAFTER, Calif. -- More than 100 farm workers are living in tents, sleeping bags and cars in the orchard they've come from Washington state to work in on Thursday night.

The farm workers and their families traveled from Washington state to work in the Kyle Mathison Orchards near Shafter. The orchard is part of the Stemilt Growers Company, which is based out of Wenatchee, Washington.

Some are living in tents, others in cars and several were found sleeping on the ground without cover.

Many said they've had to bathe in irrigation water.

A representative from the United Farm Workers Union said the workers were lured to Kern County with the dream of an opportunity. The UFW said the farm workers feel like they have been duped, because they still aren't even hired.

One of the farm workers said, "I asked where do we shower? And he said 'There's the water hole.' ... and there's ducks and fish! I asked, 'We shower there?! Where do the women shower?!' He said the same place."

Another farm worker said, "I came from Washington state. We came here to work, but they haven't treated us like they should and we're a little worried because we may not have enough money to go back to Washington."

ABC23 left a message at the company's headquarters for comment, which was closed Thursday night.

Stemilt is a major company in the agriculture industry. According to its Web site, it's the largest shipper of fresh-market sweet cherries in the world.
