Governor Newsom Signs New Bill to Expand California Farmworker Union Rights
Governor Gavin Newsom has signed legislation into law that will expand union rights for farmworkers.
AB 2183, also known as California’s Agricultural Labor Relations Voting Choice Act, creates new ways for farmworkers to vote in a union election, including options for mail-in ballots, and authorization cards submitted to the California Agricultural Labor Relations Board, in addition to the existing in-person voting process.
Earlier this month, News Channel 3’s Jennifer Franco spoke with a local farmworker about the importance of this bill for farmworkers.
