Opponents of the bill, the Chamber of Commerce, big business and agricultural grower associations, as well as wealthy independent ranchers, all oppose the bill, claiming it is nothing more than an attempt by the UFW to force agricultural workers to unionize. Negotiations are still ongoing between the UFW and the Governor’s office. Governor Gavin Newson doesn’t support the bill in its present form. They chanted and marched to the State Capitol to show support for Assembly Bill 2183.ĪB 2183 would amend the Agricultural Labor Relations Act to make it easier for farmworkers to vote for or against unionization free from intimidation and threats. Thousands of supporters came to support the UFW unionization protection bill. The United Farm Workers Union (UFW) and their supporters assembled at Southside Community Park two miles from the California State Capital.
