ICYMI on KPBS Midday Edition: Demonstrators call on Newsom to approve farmworker union elections bill. AB 2183 would allow farm workers to vote by mail in union elections.
Farmworkers at the Yasukochi Family Farms in Fallbrook pick fruits and vegetables. May 27, 2021.
The 4 p.m. demonstration at the intersection of César E. Chávez Avenue and Alameda Street in support of AB 2183 is organized by the UFW Foundation, an advocacy group and immigration legal services provider associated with the United Farm Workers union which Chavez co-founded. Chavez co-founded the National Farm Workers Association in 1962 with Dolores Huerta. The union merged in 1965 with the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee to form the UFW.
Chavez and the UFW played an instrumental role in the passage of the California Agricultural Labor Relations Act in 1975, which made California the first state to give farm workers the right to seek union representation and bargain collectively within an established legal framework.
