California farm workers finally win 25-year-old Gerawan Farms case
Gerawan Farms, California’s peach and grape farm giant, was finally defeated after a 25-year battle in court where they claimed they were not bound by the Mandatory Mediation Law, a provision of the Agricultural Labor Relations Act. United Farm Workers president Arturo Rodriguez said in a statement that after years of stalling, Gerawan Farming should immediately honor the union contract and pay its workers the $10 million it already owes them, according to a contract written by a neutral, third-party mediator.
