This year, Speaker Hertzberg arranged for the legislation to be numbered AB 423 to commemorate the date of Cesar Chavez's death on April 23, 1993. The third bill in the UFW package, AB 638, by Assemblymember Darrell Steinberg, would require written contracts when growers hire farm labor contractors. But we also honor Cesar by continuing his life's work. People can honor Cesar by urging state legislators to pass Speaker Hertzburg's AB 423, Senator Burton's SB 1125 and Assemblymember Steinberg's AB 638. The best way to honor Cesar Chavez is by helping the union he founded, the UFW, continue his work.
Farm workers continue to suffer daily.
Help them by supporting AB 423, SB 1125 and AB 638.
