Should goons, posing as union organizers be allowed to trespass, harass workers and threaten farm owners. In the old Soviet Union, this would be allowed. In the United States can goons stop your business from operating and bully workers into paying them protection money, while calling it “dues”?</p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">“The issue at hand in <em>Cedar Point Nursery v.

Hassid,</b> which will be heard by the nine jurists on March 22, revolves around the state’s “access rule,” which allows union organizers to visit worksites for three hours per day up to 120 days a year to discuss unionization. </p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">Fowler Packing alleges that United Farm Workers organizers “tried to storm” the business for three straight days in 2015. </p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">That came around the time when the UFW allegedly “stormed” Cedar Point Nursery, a starter strawberry plant grower located along Highway 97 near the Oregon Border, and disrupted operations. </p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">Nonprofit Pacific Legal Foundation heard about the event in Northern California and connected with Cedar Point owner Mike Fahner and Fowler Packing to seek legal action to challenge the access rule. </p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">PLF attorney Joshua Thompson said the UFW attempted to intimidate the employees at both businesses. </p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">“We certainly allege in the complaint that the purpose here isn’t to hand out leaflets and inform rights,” Thompson said. “Not only do they have the right to contact these workers in a myriad of ways, but they do in fact do so. The aim of the access regulation isn’t to set up a table and inform, it’s to intimidate. And that’s exactly what they tried to do to both of our clients, both Cedar Point Nursery and Fowler Packing Company” </p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">Thompson also argued that the access rule is outdated. </p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">“One of the purported justifications for the access regulation is that you can’t otherwise access workers outside of being able to come onto the private property of the business,”Thompson said. “But in Mike’s case, for example, the union not only had that authority, but they did in fact follow the workers to nearby Klamath Falls, [Oregon], where their hotels were and continued to try to persuade them to strike and to join the union. But, of course, that didn’t happen, the workers decided that wasn’t in their best interest.” </p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">Fahner pointed to social media as a game changer for communication compared to when the California Agricultural Labor Relations Board created the rule in 1975. </p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">“I’d just like to get the message to everyone that we’re not against unions,” Fahner said. “Unions have their place. I’m sure they do. This law in today’s world is no longer necessary. With social media, you can communicate with people around the world effectively without having to have access to a person’s private property and place of business. Was there a day in time that this could be perceived as necessary? Maybe… The effectiveness of social media and getting the message out eliminates this right to access need.” </p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">Cedar Point employee Victor Garcia called the UFW’s actions an “ambush” and said the event could have turned violent. </p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">“To this day it gives me chills because it changed my life in a way,” Garcia said. “There’s people that say, ‘We need protection.’ That protection, I needed it when I was young when I was a kid, when I was in Mexico. I felt like it was an ambush. It wasn’t a protest. There’s a difference between a protest and an ambush, and that’s how I felt.” </p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;"><b>The PLF produced a video that includes footage from the day the UFW visited Cedar Point: </b></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;"><b>Fresno attorney Howard Sagaser of Sagaser Watkins & Wieland PC is an attorney set to argue the case before the U.S. Supreme Court later this month.</b></p><div class="sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled" style="clear: both;"><div class="robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing" style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><h3 class="sd-title" style="display: inline-block; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;"><font size="4">Share this:</font></h3><div class="sd-content"><ul data-sharing-events-added="true" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; list-style: none !important;"><li class="share-end" style="display: inline-block; margin: 0px 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: square;" /></ul></div></div></div></div><div class="adsense" style="padding: 10px 0px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221);"><div class="post-meta" style="margin: 0px; padding: 5px 0px 0px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); clear: both;"><span class="categories" http="http" www.capoliticalreview.com="www.capoliticalreview.com" wp-content="wp-content" themes="themes" church="church" images="images" brown="brown" icon-time.gif="icon-time.gif" left="left" top="top" no-repeat="no-repeat" rgb="rgb" margin="margin" px="px" padding="padding" style="background-image: url(""); background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">Filed Under: <a href="https://www.capoliticalreview.com/capoliticalnewsandviews/" rel="category tag" style="text-decoration-line: none;">Stephen Frank's California Political News And Views</a></span></div></div><div class="author-box" style="background: rgb(247, 247, 247); margin: 0px 0px 40px; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); overflow: hidden;"><strong>About Stephen Frank</strong>
