After spending Tuesday afternoon and evening in Lodi, United

Sacramento Road through Woodbridge, east on Acampo road to the
Highway 99 frontage road, west on Liberty Road to Lower Sacramento
Road and north into Galt.
Farm workers will walk west on Kost Road and wind through west
Galt neighborhoods, finally arriving at St. Christopher’s Catholic
Church, 950 S. Lincoln Way, for dinner.
On Thursday morning, participants will walk from Galt to
Thornton, where they will eat lunch at Mater Ecclesiae Catholic
Church, 26500 N. Sacramento Blvd. After lunch, they will march from
Thornton to Walnut Grove.
By Sunday, they will arrive in Sacramento, where a rally is
scheduled on the steps of the State Capitol. There will be two
busloads of people heading to Sunday’s rally from Lodi, about 40
from the San Joaquin Valley, 20 from the Napa and Sonoma valleys,
30 from the Salinas Valley and five from Oxnard, Rodriguez
said.

Taking a rather circuitous route from Madera to Sacramento,
United Farm Workers of America members and supporters stopped in
Lodi late Tuesday afternoon after spending most of the day in
Stockton spreading their message, especially to the Latino
population.
After light breakfast, a blessing and Holy Communion this
morning in Hale Park, marchers will continue into Galt today and
meet farmworkers there. By Sunday, they will be at the State
Capitol for a rally intended to encourage Gov. Jerry Brown to sign
some UFW-backed legislation.

Like EVERY union, they all start off with good intentions. Unfortunately, as we now see, they end up being the "strong arm unions". Their origional concept has grown to influence political actions and price American business out of the global market. They especially have NO place in our government entities. Union graft and corruption goes all the way to the oval office.
Joanne Bobin posted at 8:43 pm on Wed, Aug 31, 2011.
Anyone who has read or researched the formation of the UFW would not make ridiculous comments such as that below.
These hardworking people went through hell just to gain the same rights as the average American worker. They had to do it in extreme secrecy, meeting in a different location each time for fear of physical violence from thugs hired by farmers. They did it through the perseverence of Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta and the thousands of individuals who sacrificed greatly so future generations could work in semi-decent conditions.
To dismiss this group as a "strong arm union" is simply ignorance.
Darrell Baumbach posted at 7:11 am on Wed, Aug 31, 2011.
Gov. Jerry Brown to sign some UFW-backed legislation.
Im sure it will be exciting for these people to meet the godfather of strong arm unions...
Mr Brown is highly thought of by them.
