Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law Monday a significant change to the way California farmworkers can organize and vote for union representation.
The law, which allows farmworkers to vote for union representation by signing union authorization cards, called card check, takes effect immediately. Despite the win for labor, thefarmworkers’ brief right to vote by mail, as part of a deal with the United Farm Workers union to change legislation Newsom signed last year.
California farmworkers previously voted for union representation via a two-step “secret ballot” process that often took place at their worksite on employer property. The, which went into effect in January, changed that to two options, allowing farmworkers to mail in ballots or vote via card check. The bill Newsom signed Monday removed the vote-by-mail provision and further clarified last year’s legislation. Grower groups and the California Farm Bureau opposed both versions of the bill, but were especially vocal about the security of mailed ballots.
The California Labor Federation, who sponsored the bill along with United Farm Workers, praised the signing on“There are 400,000 farmworkers in California who need a fair system to have a union,” said Antonio de Loera-Brust, spokesperson for United Farm Workers. “We are ready to get started.”
