Judge Mark Sobel on Payroll of Labor Board

This week, a hearing began in Fresno, California regarding a labor dispute between farmworkers at Gerawan Farming, Inc. and the California Agricultural Labor Relations Board (ALRB).

The workers voted in a decertification election last November to kick the United Farm Workers (UFW) out, but the ALRB refuses to count their votes. This is a clear violation of the farmworkers’ civil liberties.

Governor Brown Vetoes Forced Unionization Bill

In a surprise move, Governor Jerry Brown vetoed the California Farm Bill SB-25 on Sunday. The Bill, which had passed both houses of the Legislature, would have made it easier for unions to force farm workers into collective bargaining agreements by essentially abolishing their right to appeal during labor mediation.

Sacramento – California Assemblyman James Patterson and fellow state legislators are urging Governor Jerry Brown to stand up for farm workers’ rights.

Elected representatives are about to seize farmers’ hard-earned money to use it against the farmers’ own best interests with the pending signature of California’s SB-25 Bill. The bill has pushed its way into the House and Senate and is awaiting signature by Governor Jerry Brown.
