The allegations ricocheted through the agricultural fields and into a Central Valley courthouse, where the Wonderful Company and United Farm Workers face off in a labor dispute.
Farmworkers at Wonderful Nurseries claim they were deceived into signing union cards, while the United Farm Workers accuses the company of intimidation and coercion.
The 2022 law, which made it easier for farmworkers to unionize, has faced significant opposition from big growers who argue it allows for unfair influence in the unionization process.
Victor Narro notes that the law has sparked a new era of mobilization among workers demanding better conditions, coinciding with heightened union activity during the pandemic.
