00:00:01.040 - 00:00:29.600

All right. Mhm. Yeah. Mhm. I remember a lot of just a gentleman everyone. Huh? You have what? Thank you know, stopped all picketing activities here in the valley and against these companies. Uh Most of which operate in a 23 or four state area for all their

00:00:29.600 - 00:00:46.810

operations. Which means that the workers lost the right to strike and lost the right to picket at the company Partly Law 1948. It kind of emasculated some of the major most important weapons that were used in building unions which are based on the solidarity of working

00:00:46.820 - 00:01:09.840

people. Every really is people power. I mean that's really what it is because it's just people in different cities using their um ability to withhold purchasing from a chain store in order to get that chain store to change its policy or to adopt a policy of

00:01:09.850 - 00:01:32.660

buying only union produce, union goods, boycott supporters, volunteer committees and what have you all around the country have just redoubled their efforts ever since Antal and doubt. but caesar in jail. So orders have been so far, this my specific accelerant and this is where I'm going

00:01:32.660 - 00:02:02.660

with him so far. About a dozen trucks, couple of pigs and about four or five cars. No, go ahead, buy stuff with money. A a whole are very busy people and mhm boycotts take a lot of their time have resisted somewhat too. Um and have been

00:02:02.660 - 00:02:26.960

quoted as saying that they oppose coming under the uh Labor Management Relations Act because this would do away with secondary their ability to secondary boycott. Yes, the of what? But as I see it, the National Labor Relations Board has been in existence for many years. And

00:02:27.740 - 00:02:47.450

big business United States Steel General Motors clear down to the man that has a tire store, has a small welding shop, who has a small manufacturing plant. The big and the small I have learned uh, and their workers have been covered under the Labour Relations Management

00:02:47.450 - 00:03:02.640

Act. And it's been very successful. You don't hear the what? They don't, they don't want this right of secondary boycott denied them. But if you go back, if you look at all the procedures that are under the Labour Relations Management Act, there would be no requirement

00:03:02.650 - 00:03:19.130

for a boycott of anyone who wants to. The the importance of the boycott is to gain recognition. Well, you have the board for recognition. You have the act, nobody can deny, deny a vote of the workers. They can petition to be represented by unions under it.

00:03:19.130 - 00:03:33.250

And management has to has to grant that there is no need for a boycott under the No, they're not giving up anything under a secondary boycott. Tell me exactly what's cute that's going on. And I mean, now generally in the valley, how much of it has

00:03:33.250 - 00:03:48.370

to be right, well, we haven't existed. We have a contract since 1961 with the teamsters. With the teamsters. And you and our workers are all members of the teamsters, including all opinion proving that it represents workers. One is through a secret ballot election. We asked the

00:03:48.380 - 00:04:02.130

growers for that here twice. They refused both times. Another is through a card check election where you sign up and show cars. They refuse that. And the third is when you vote with your feet and that's what the workers did here. They voted with their feet.

00:04:02.130 - 00:04:05.860

They walked out. They shut down the Valley. So they voted for this union. See
