California Assembly passes 'card check' for agricultural workers

CA Assembly passes 'card check' for agricultural workers..measure, SB104, cleared the Assembly by a vote of 51-26 with Republicans opposed. It now goes to Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown, who has not yet announced whether he will sign it...the bill would let farmworkers bargain collectively if a majority of employees submit petition cards to the Agricultural Labor Relations Board...the bill was sponsored by the United Farm Workers. If Gov. Brown should sign the bill into law, then workers would be stripped of their right to have secret-ballot elections which have helped shield individual workers from the sort of intimidation and reprisals that have been eagerly embraced by aggressive union organizers
