Heading: The One-hour Expanded Field Access

Text: (6) The Board ordered the grower to provide one hour of compensated access time during working hours. [16] The Court of Appeal reversed the order for one hour of expanded field access as indefinite and overbroad, reading the order to place no limit on the number of times the union could utilize the right of access and purely punitive. The field access order is reasonably interpreted to refer to one and only one hour of expanded field access, on one agreed-upon day, not one hour each day. Moreover, the grower's argument that the extra hour of affirmative field access, at company expense, was punitive because the unfair labor practices involved denial of labor camp access is easily answered: The expanded field access was justified in this case on the basis of the grower's admitted denials of field access. There is no need whatever to attempt to justify it on the basis of wrongful denial of labor camp access.
