Gov. Newsom signs bill to help farmworkers unionize.
joined about two dozen jubilant, cheering farmworkers camped outside the state Capitol Wednesday to sign one of the most contentious bills before him this year, reversing course on a measure to help farmworkers unionize after President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris supported it.
But Newsom said he approved the bill after he, the United Farm Workers and the California Labor Federation agreed on clarifying language to be considered during next year's legislative session to address his concerns around implementation and voting integrity. "Si, se puede," the farmworkers chanted as Newsom signed the bill, echoing the UFW's longtime slogan -- roughly, "Yes, we can" in Spanish.
