The UFW continued engaged in a major campaign to re-organize 5000 workers of a major grower in the stone fruit industry. The UFW was successful in winning elections at 3 employers to increase the membership by 2950 workers. The UFW also mobilized thousands of workers to support the overtime for farm workers campaign. The UFW conducted numerous trainings for its worker leadership throughout the country. The regional offices conducted worker trainings and staff trainings to improve effectiveness of our representational abilities and to expand the capacity of the union. The principal work of the UFW in 2016 was winning equal overtime pay protections for farm workers in California. The UFW won the historic Phase-in Overtime Pay for Agricultural Workers Act (AB 1066), ending 78 years of race based discrimination against farm workers. As a result of the UFW sponsored legislation, farm workers will soon earn time and half pay after an 8 hour day in California; as the legislation name implies, there is a phase-in period with a gradual move from 10 to 8 hour overtime pay. The campaign included organizing UFW membership and other farm workers to determine the legislative priority; training farm worker leaders for district and Sacramento based lobbying; designing and crafting the legislation and strategy; testifying in the state legislature; organizing a broad cross section of support among labor, civil rights, Latino, immigration, faith, and nationally recognized leaders; and building a winning public campaign. The UFW took a position on 11 other bills in California in 2016 that became law the work included analyzing the bills and making an assessment on support. We also worked to implement the heat illness prevention lawsuit settlement with the State of California and Cal/OSHA, reviewing the settlement negotiated audit and coordinating with allies reporting of heat illness violations. Federally, the UFW worked to start implementation of the Worker Protection Standard, the policy UFW helped win in 2015 that finally gave farm workers similar protections from pesticides as other workers receive. We also organized support to sign onto amicus briefs for the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA), which unfortunately the Federal court system blocked. The Communications Department promoted the UFW campaigns on overtime pay, immigration, heat illness, union organizing, UFW scholarships, and other efforts aligned with UFW campaigns and agriculture. There was considerable press coverage as well as other communications efforts in the regions where UFW works as well as in national and some international coverage. false true false false true false false false false false true false false false true false false true false false false false false true true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false true false false false false true 89 0 true 79 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 9 0 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true true false true false false false CA X TERESA ROMERO 6618225571 PO Box 62 Keene CA 93531 X ARTURO S RODRIGUEZ President 65.00 0.00 X X 80143 0 0 LAURO BARAJAS NATIONAL V.P. 65.00 0.00 X 58088 0 0 IRV HERSHENBAUM 1st V.P. 65.00 0.00 X X 60570 0 0 ERICA NAVARRETE NATIONAL V.P. 60.00 0.00 X 36407 0 0 GIEV KASHKOOLI 2ND VP 60.00 0.00 X 66102 0 0 TERESA ROMERO SECRETARY TREAS 60.00 0.00 X X 62173 0 0 DIANA TELLEFSON TORRES NATIONAL V.P. 45.00 45.00 X 0 56793 0 ARMANDO ELENES 3rd V.P. 65.00 0.00 X 84779 0 0 ERIK NICHOLSON NATIONAL V.P. 50.00 0.00 X 68861 0 0 517123 56793 0 false false false RFK MEDICAL PLAN PO BOX 62 KEENE CA 93531 MEDICAL PLAN 417661 NATIONAL CHAVEZ CENTER PO BOX 62 KEENE CA 93531 RENTAL/ UTILITIES 125504 MARTINEZ AGUILASOCHO & LYNCH PO BOX 11208 BAKERSFIELD CA 93389 LEGAL SERVICES 626364 TRANSAMERICAN MAILING 355 STATE PLACE ESCONDIDO CA 92029 POSTAGE SERVICE 251566 ARAMARK MANAGEMENT 1001 TRUXTON AVE BAKERSFIELD CA 93301 CONVENTION RENTAL 148651 5 90880 2291385 2382265 Contract Services 1267162 1267162 Membership Dues 4231283 4231283 5498445 43198 43198 0 0 0 0 29920 90880 29612 308 0 39874 12362 27512 27512 Miscellaneous 40214 40214 40214 7991942 5541643 67726 0 9100 0 0 517123 0 2218958 26045 417661 233737 0 798003 44150 0 83372 0 68429 11006 380683 62075 0 698715 346765 0 292355 19132 0 10329 327050 SETTLEMENT EXPENSE 1285100 DIRECT MAIL 321085 OUTSIDE SERVICES 265054 STIPENEDS 186624 371283 8993834 0 0 0 742460 663232 292871 37287 112490 484161 879018 0 0 0 62793 94904 95410 100428 1079878 314051 730293 765827 1489888 1425618 0 0 0 0 3642292 4334388 226328 612596 681486 681486 166590 1446682 1074404 2740764 X 2540270 1593624 27618 2567888 1593624 3642292 4334388 -1001892 27628 X true X true X true false RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false false false 151079 151079 530377 530377 40423 40423 357999 314051 43948 765827 ACCRUED EXPENSES 9356 Accrued Payroll 48074 Other Misc Payables 89252 SETTLEMENT EXPENSE 1300000 1446682 X X X false GORDON & SCWENK 360 N SEPULVEDA EL SEGUNDO CA 90245 TELEMARKETING true 135507 76837 58670 135507 76837 58670 UFW GALA DINNER 120800 90880 29920 26612 3000 120800 90880 29920 26612 3000 29612 308 true 0 0 ASSISTANCE TO WIDOWS OF MARTYRS 2 9100 CASH JESUS TORRES Spouse of Director 70555 APP Development false Schedule L, Part V Supplemental Information A thorough search for a consultant was conducted by the UFW that did not involve the board member with the familial relationship.
