Whether fraud and forgery were

Vse of the word •uninterrupted* suggests that Ihe state
has a right to prohibit strikes
by farm workers, long among the
lowest paid and most exploited
workers ln the nation.
Section 1146 would set up a'
five-member Agricultural Labor
Relation* Board whose membWs
would be appointed by th* Governor (without legislative approval)
Section 1150.4 (b) would strip
most farm workers of th* right
to   vote   hy  providing  that  any
when *the number of temporary
agricultural employees entitled
lo vote does not exceed the number of permanent agricultural
employees.*
Section 1140.4 (d) would deny
farm workers the right to vote in
a representational election unless they had been employed by a
particular grower for al least 14
work days ln the preceding 30
calendar days and worked at least
0 days ln agriculture the pre-
The el
The truth la that hired farm
labor costs conorally represent
less than four or five per cent of
th* total coat of bringing California's tabor-lntamlv* crop*
lo the consumer. This means that
the shamefully low wag** paid
moat of th*** worker* could be
doubled without Justifying any
significant Increase In food costs.
Moreover, If farm workers'
wages were doubled, California
taxpayers would no longer be
forced to shoulder the )40 million or more welfare burden that
results each year when thousands
of these seasonal workera ar*
forced to seek public assistance,
roughly    from   November   to
to a hidden subsidy to the state'*
private farm Interests paid by
California taxpayera.
By frustrating non-violent
leadership, Proposition 22 would
lead to disruption and chaos ln
the field* that would be far mor*
llk*ly to glv* unscrupulous whole-

A summary of th* m*aaur* -
which la all even th* mor* conscientious voters get around to
reading - says, in effect, that
th* board's dutlaa would consist
of conducting elections among
farm workers to find out if they
want union representation and
certifying election results.
All that sounds fair enough end
that's just what tb* State's corporate farm Interests want th*
public to believe.
But burled ln th* Initiative are
provisions designed to destroy
th* farm workers' union and deny
mor* than two thirds of the state's
235,000 farm workers tb* right

any boycotting activities of the

purposes, be banned by Section
