Gov. Gavin Newsom signed groundbreaking legislation Wednesday that expands options for farm workers who hope to unionize.
AB 2183, written by Assemblymember Mark Stone , creates new ways for farmworkers to vote in a union election. In addition to in-person voting, options now include mail-in ballots, and authorization cards submitted to the California Agricultural Labor Relations Board.
As recently as September, it looked like Newsom might not sign the bill, as he claimed he had issues with the mail-in voting process and its integrity issues. After months of criticism from politicians such as President Joe Biden, Newsom signed the bill. The governor noted that he signed the bill following negotiations with United Farm Workers and the California Labor Federation, who agreed to add language to the bill that clarifies the process in the next legislative session.
