Farmworkers in California will have an easier process for forming unions for the next five years under AB 2183, which Newsom signed on Wednesday.
Newsom earlier this year announced his opposition as well. In response, the UFW staged weeks of advocacy efforts that turned the bill into a rallying point for political progressives at the same time the governor was seeking to elevate his national political profile.
Supporters said AB 2183 is an effort to ease the path toward collective bargaining, and potentially higher wages, after decades of declining union membership for agricultural workers.Union representation among California’s farmworkers has dwindled to such a low number that UC Merced researchers told CalMatters this year they couldn’t confidently measure it, and few elections are even held.
Earlier this year Newsom opposed the mail-ballot election proposal over concerns that it made it possible for workers to begin requesting ballots without employers’ knowledge.
