Lourdes Cardenas has worked the fields in the San Joaquin Valley for more than 20 years. \u201cI\u2019ve worked in all the crops \u2014 grapes, cherries, peaches, nectarines. I\u2019m marching because I want representation and to be respected,\u201d she said. The respect she and other farmworkers seek is not only from their employers, but also from Gov. Gavin Newsom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cardenas and members of the United Farm Workers (UFW) are supporting a proposed law<\/a> to make it much more difficult for growers to use workers\u2019 fear against them in unionization votes. Their proposal would extend to farmworkers the right to vote at home instead of in the fields, among other protections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cardenas said that change would mean they would \u201cnot be intimidated by the bosses because we want a union. If we have to vote in front of them, they intimidate us, make us fear they\u2019ll fire or suspend us.\u201d According to the California Poor People\u2019s Campaign, \u201cAB 2183 would give more choices to farmworkers so they can vote free from intimidation \u2014 in secret, whenever and wherever they feel safe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

California legislators have agreed. Fifty signed on as sponsors of AB 2183, the Agricultural Labor Relations Voting Choice Act, authored by Assemblymember Mark Stone (D- Santa Cruz). It passed the State Assembly<\/a> on May 25 by a wide margin, and was sent to the Senate floor on August 11, where its passage is virtually certain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newsom, however, has not made a commitment to sign it. A march to gain the governor\u2019s signature began in Delano on Aug. 3. Twenty-six people made a commitment to walk for 24 days up the San Joaquin Valley, all the way to Newsom\u2019s Sacramento office, planning to arrive in Sacramento on Aug. 26. Each day marchers and supporters cover between 9 to 18 miles. UFW Secretary Treasurer Armando Elenes even counts the steps in a program on his cellphone. On the fifth day it recorded 14,000 paces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In August, the heat in the San Joaquin Valley is intense. \u201cAs we\u2019re walking in temperatures over 100 degrees,\u201d says UFW President Teresa Romero, \u201cI look to my right and I see farmworkers working. That\u2019s what they do every day, day in and day out. They can\u2019t do what we just did. When we get tired we can take a 10-minute break whenever we feel like it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newsom vetoed<\/a> a similar bill last year. His rejection of the legislative mandate came after the union had campaigned for him in his successful effort to defeat a recall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, when Romero asked to meet with Newsom to discuss the voting proposal, he refused. In fact, he vetoed that bill the day after a similar march began, asking him to sign it. The union was so outraged it then marched from the swanky French Laundry<\/a> restaurant in Napa Valley wine country, where Newsom had held a controversial fundraiser, to his PlumpJack vineyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once again, \u201cwe\u2019re at the last step, which is his signature,\u201d Romero said. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to paint a picture for him of what farm workers go through \u2014 the intimidation, the threats, losing their jobs. We asked one worker to make a video about it, and she said, \u2018No, I can\u2019t. If my employer sees it he\u2019ll fire me.\u2019 We\u2019re trying to relay that to the governor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lourdes Cardenas described how one grower created that fear. \u201cWhen I was working in the peaches once, some friends came to work with union leaflets,\u201d she remembers. She helped hand them out. \u201cMy foreman said, \u2018There\u2019s no more work for you.\u2019 I never was able to work with him again. He wanted to scare the other people in the crew by what he did to me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the starkest examples of worker intimidation occurred in 2013, when one of the world\u2019s largest peach and grape growers, Gerawan Farming, was preparing for a vote<\/a> to get rid of its obligation to negotiate a contract with the United Farm Workers. The company\u2019s effort began by sending foremen and anti-union workers into the orchards and grape rows, demanding that pickers sign a petition against the union. According to a complaint<\/a> by the California Agricultural Labor Relations Board (ALRB), supervisor Sonia Martinez \u201cwent row by row and provided the employees in her crew with the signature sheet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supervisors then shut down work entirely, blocked entry to the fields and packing sheds, and handed out the petitions and demanded that workers sign. Agustin Rodriguez, a UFW supporter, told Capital & Main that \u201cthey stopped whole crews because of their union activity.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One worker, Jose Dolores, explained, \u201cPeople were afraid they\u2019d be fired if they supported the union. I heard it all the time. \u2018If I do that they\u2019ll fire me.\u2019\u201d According to another UFW supporter, Severino Salas, \u201cSome of the pro-company workers said that if the company had to sign a contract with the union, it would tear out the grapevines or trees. This threat was coming from the foremen, but they would get other workers to say it.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Nov. 5 of that year workers then cast ballots in an election held by the ALRB, in which they had to choose if they were for or against the union. Voting was conducted in the same fields where the intimidation had taken place. When the votes were finally counted, the union lost. Workers no longer had the right to negotiate a union contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

California\u2019s labor law for farmworkers, the Agricultural Labor Relations Act<\/a>, prohibits the use of intimidation. Decades of ALRB hearings, however, amply demonstrate that growers\u2019 use of fear to prevent unionization is widespread. Yet the ALRB almost invariably conducts union elections in the growers\u2019 fields, where the fear is often intense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Workers\u2019 immigration status can increase the fear. According to UFW President Teresa Romero, \u201cThe majority of farmworkers are undocumented. When growers see them coming to vote, workers know there will be repercussions.\u201d She adds that when workers are targeted for their union support, it can affect whole families. \u201cOften wives, husbands, brothers, sisters all work for the same farm,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

March captain Antonio Cortez says that even if the law goes into effect, the union will have to educate thousands of workers about the new system for voting. The march itself is part of that process. Word spreads as laborers see the marchers passing the fields where they\u2019re working, or hear about it from friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cortez believes that the law can potentially inspire a wave of farmworker elections California hasn\u2019t seen since the 1970s. \u201cI think there are two places with a lot of organizing potential,\u201d he explains. \u201cIn crops like the strawberries on the coast, the wages are very low, just the minimum, and workers have no benefits. They have very little to lose there. And in crops like the wine grapes, the wages are higher, but the cost of living in liberal areas like Sonoma County is so high that workers can\u2019t survive.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n

The campaign for the law can also lead to greater community support for worker organizing, which would help convince growers to sign contracts when workers win elections. \u201cThis march is grassroots organizing,\u201d Romero says. \u201cIt\u2019s not about money. It\u2019s not about lobbying. It\u2019s about the people who are marching here today and their rights. It\u2019s about respect.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI hope the governor is listening,\u201d Cardenas says. \u201cWe deserve this law.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
