Heading: The Board's Original Order

Text: In 8 ALRB 87 the grower was charged with two instances of denying union representatives access to the Lakeview labor camp on October 28 and 29, 1981. The grower admitted its agents refused admission to the bunkhouses or the dining hall on the dates in question, in accordance with its policy as outlined above. It argued, however, its visitor rules were justified by the need for security at the camp and the privacy concerns of all camp residents and because admission of visitors to the barracks and dining hall would be unreasonable and disruptive. In addition, the grower asserted the union had reasonable alternative means to communicate with the workers. The Board found the grower's denial of access constituted an unfair labor practice and ordered the grower to Cease and desist from: [¶] (a) Preventing, limiting, or restraining any union organizers or agents from entering and remaining on the premises of Respondent's labor camps for the purpose of contacting, visiting, or talking to any agricultural employee on the premises. [¶] (b) In any like or related manner, interfering with, restraining, or coercing agricultural employees in their right to communicate freely with union organizers or agents on the premises of Respondent's labor camps.
