California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) vetoed Assembly Bill 616 on Sept. 22, which the California Farm Bureau (CFB) applauded.
The measure would have allowed yearlong mail-in card-check campaigns for unionizing instead of a secret ballot election.
“The firm action taken today by Gov. Newsom in vetoing 616 protects the sanctity of the secret ballot election. It means that strong-arm organizing tactics and coercion have no place in California agriculture,” said CFB President Jamie Johansson.
