[gavel] mr. evans please call the next item. >> item number two is a resolution supporting gerawan farm workers their right to be represented by the united farm workers and urging gerawan farming to implement the terms of the contract. >> supervisor campos. >> thank you very much mr. chairman and let me say that on a very personal note i am very

proud to be introduced this resolution today. one of the highlights of my life was when in the early 90's as a young stanford student i got to meet cesar chavez and that was sort of a life changing experience, and what we have here today is a resolution that follows and supports the legacy of cesar chavez because we're dealing with something that began and was in fact the last major organizing effort under cesar chavez's leadership at the united farm workers. i want to thank supervisor john avalos who has cosponsored this resolution and note that tim paulson the executive director of the

library council he was trying to be here in his schedule but it became impossible but i know he wants me to let folks know that him and the labor council see this is as very important priority but the long and short of what we're talking about today we have a resolution that would put san francisco on the record as the first city to come out in full support of the gerawan farm workers who have been fighting for the rights for a number of decades now. in 1990 farm workers at gerawan farming voting for representation by the united farm workers and was a state conducted secret ballot election. the labor relations board at this point certified the united farm workers as the

farm workers union representative for those workers and for almost a quarter of a century this company -- gerawan, has been fighting the effort of these workers to simply exercise their rights. they have pulling all the stops to prevent implementation of the union contract. in fact things gotten so bad that the united farm workers invoked california's mandatory mediation law in a state appointed mediator was actually imposed, and that mediator issued a three year contract which included retroactive wage increases, holiday compensation that was supposed to take immediate effect to protect those workers. this happened again in 2013. it is now 2015 and to date gerawan

has failed to pay the workers the increased wages, and we know that they're going to continue to ignore the law and ignore the fact that we are dealing with human beings here who have a right to a fair wage. the agricultural industry unfortunately has consistently taken an obstructionist stance towards workers efforts to organize and gerawan farms is currently using some of the worse anti-union, anti-worker tactic in the being boos. the company by the way has also employed right wing groups like glorrer norquist's groups to launch a media campaign on behalf of gerawan farms and

funded by the koch brothers seek to his this company as an example against workers organizing. they want to use this effort as a template to fight labor and future battles. it is amazing that this is happening in the year 2015. that it is happening here in california, and we know that if they can do that in california then there is no hope for workers anywhere else in this country. i therefore ask my colleagues for your support for this resolution which calls upon gerawan farms to accept and implement the terms of the ufw contract to ask gerawan farms to stop creating a hostile working environment for these workers, and to ask this company to respect the rights of these workers to fair compensation

and equitable treatment. i want to thank the representatives, the united farm workers, and most importantly i want to thank the workers who are here today who have traveled far to be here, and i think -- i am very proud of the fact they have chosen san francisco to be the first place where this resolution is introduced, and i want to make sure that we send a very strong message that san francisco will stand with these workers and will not allow this company to do what it's doing. [speaking spanish]

again i am very proud of this resolution. i want to thank tim paulson, mike casey of the san francisco labor council for the support they're providing these workers and the hope here is once this resolution passes in san francisco that other jurisdictions will follow suit, and we have seen that happens in the past, so before i turn it over to public comment i want

to give my league an opportunity if you want to say a few words. >> i just wanted to echo supervisor campos. welcome and thank you for sharing your struggled with us in san francisco. my understanding is gerawan is the largest peach grower in the u.s., and to not follow a neutral mediator's recommendations really is both some. also to mention the right wing anti-worker organizations that seem to be behind the growers, so i am really happy that you're here and more people learn about your struggle and how dignity for farm workers and others is critical for our community, not only san francisco and fresno but everywhere. >> supervisor. >> thank you very much. i would like the opportunity to

open it up to public comment and i know some of the workers want to address the committee. [speaking spanish] >> and i wanted to thank first vice president from the united farm workers for being here but especially the workers. >> thank you members of the committee. especially to you supervisor campos for introducing this resolution and being our champion here along with john avalos and others. i am the first vice president with the united farm workers and started in 1975. we just completed a hearing at the arlb, the longest in history where 120 workers testified to some of the things i'm going to be mentioning here. as you mentioned supervisor mar ground farming has 5,000 workers and does peaches and plums and apricots and one of the table growers under the peopla label.

we won an election 24 years ago. at that time gerawan illegally fired crews of workers and closed down six of its labor camps in violation of the law completely destroying the workers support there. after numerous attempts over the years to try to negotiate a contract we passed a law that gray davis signed and jerry brown strengthened that said if they don't negotiate a mediator will write the agreement. in this case gerawan picked the mediator. we felt the person was fair. we accepted that choice. 80% of the workers are undocumented. the contract was written with no medical plan. we accepted it. it was a start. gerawan refused to implement the agreement. if i have to say six words that summarize this whole 20 year struggle it would be o boy r bay the law and implement the contract. for example,

when we trying to negotiate wage initiations and seniority and just cause they would not do that. this contract was finalized in 2013 but they still refused to implement the agreement. it's coming before the appeals court in april, but we can't wait for endless appeals, so we're asking your support. one of the big features that affect us is if the workers would have had a contract the 30% of the workers who work for farm labor contractors who are still getting $9 an hour would be getting $11 an hour for doing the same work so they're losing $2 an hour, over a thousand workers, in human terms so i wanted to thank you. we're going to washington, d.c. after this and new york after this, so we truly appreciate your support and consideration. san francisco has always lead the way and we very much look

forward to working with you on this. thank you so much. >> thank you. [speaking spanish] >> [speaking spanish] >> [speaking spanish] >> [speaking spanish] >> good afternoon. i am santos. i came from california and thank you very much for your support. we're here again to

ask you for your support for this company which i work for for gerawan farming to implement our contract. >> [speaking spanish] >> i would like to share my story about myself because i don't want my coworkers to face this situation. i got injured. [speaking spanish]

>> okay. i was picking grapes i injured my knee and the company in eight days did not listen to me and did not treat me with medical. [speaking spanish] >> they kept me working picking grapes and in the trays and still not listening to me. [speaking spanish] >> i have nothing help in the six months since my injury and my family depends on
