nov 17, 1975 - Glenn and Balog represent the UFW, in the matter of Pinkham Properties in Fresno, California

Description:

Case No. 75-CE-88-F /OAH No. N-7182

The basic facts, in this case, are not in dispute. According to a stipulation entered into by the employer, the General Counsel and the UPW [Charging Party and Intervenor], four UFW organizers took access to certain of the employer's agricultural property on September 26, 1975, at a time when the employees at that location were on their lunch break. The organizers, who were wearing UFW insignias, talked to the employees and handed them leaflets containing information about the UFW. The employees were part of one crew of 46 grape pickers and were divided into two groups, each working toward the-other from opposite ends of the field. While talking to some of these employees, two of the four organizers were arrested for trespassing. Although not so stipulated, it is clear from the testimony given at the hearing that the arrests followed a warning and were made as citizen's arrests by a representative of the employer. After the arrests were made the two organizers were taken into custody and jailed by deputies of the county sheriff.
