United Farm Workers sign first Oregon contract – It is state’s largest agricultural work agreement to date
Tagged: OregonPosted on: July 17th, 2007“The United Farm Workers and Threemile Canyon Farms — at 93,000 acres one of the largest dairying operations in the region — ended years of often-bitter conflict on Monday by announcing a three-year labor agreement.
It was the UFWs first contract in Oregon and the largest agricultural work agreement ever reached in the state.
Some employees had filed lawsuits alleging wrongful firing and gender discrimination at the dairy operation, which employs about 250 mostly Hispanic workers.”
