  • Farm workers had been in dispute with Sakuma Brother’s Berry Farm  for the past several years before reaching a contract in June of 2017.  While the workers won a settlement in court in 2014, the workers claim  Sakuma Brothers did not made good on those promises and continue to  violate work contracts. Their demands included: a fair wage, better  working conditions, and better living conditions for migrant workers.  Sakuma Brothers insisted that their wages are fair and in line or higher  than industry standards. Many of the workers organized under a new  union called Familias Unidas por la Justicia (FUJ) to increase their  collective bargaining power and negotiate the current collective  bargaining agreement.

  • Research the negotiations between Familias Unidas por la Justicia  (FUJ) farm workers’ union and the Sakuma Brothers Berry Farm. How do you  think the cultural backgrounds of the two parties affect negotiations?  When the farm workers voted to form a union, how do you think that  affected their negotiations with Sakuma Brothers? How would things  change if this was occurring right now?
