We started representing 1680 new workers in 2012/2013 in the tomato and vegetable industries. The fund initiated a new campaign to re-organize 5000 workers of a major grower in the stone fruit industry to negotiate a first contract in the face of unprecedented anti-union campaign. We began preparations for the implementation of the Affordable Care Act through the Robert F. Kennedy Medical Plan. The fund also mobilized thousands of workers to support the organizational goals of improving farm workers lives. The fund held numerous meetings with the elected worker leadership for their continued development and engagement with the Union. The regions conducted worker trainings and meetings regarding member benefits. Staff trainings were conducted on legal basics, organizing tactics, representational skills and other necessary skills needed by the staff to effectively represent the membership. The principal work of the Political/Legislative Department in 2013 was working on changing immigration policies. This included negotiating agricultural labor provisions for immigration policy with national agricultural labor employer associations, winning inclusion of the negotiated agricultural labor provisions in Federal immigration legislation (S. 744), preparing testimony for Congress, helping organize support for the successful passage of S. 744, successfully organizing opposition to bad bracero style legislation HR 1773, and organizing public support for Federal immigration policy changes. The immigration work also included supporting passage in Oregon and California of successful legislation allowing many new Americans to obtain drivers licenses in those states; we also helped win the TRUST Act in California creating more better guidelines between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities with regards to immigration issues. In addition to immigration legislation, the UFW authored and successfully won legislative approval of SB 25 in California, which would allow binding mediation to be used in the successive union contracts in addition to other changes to collective bargaining law. The UFW also supported the successful effort to raise Californias minimum wage. Finally, there was significant work done to work to settle the UFWs heat illness lawsuits against Cal/OSHA and continue to enforce the heat illness provisions. The Communications Department promoted through different forms of media the UFW involvement in the campaign to change immigration policy, impacts of current immigration system on farm workers, union organizing, and other issues connected to the United Farm Workers and agriculture. false true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false true 75 0 true 95 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 X Linda Rockstad 6618225571 PO Box 62 Keene CA 93531 X SERGIO GUZMAN Secretary 65.00 0.00 32273 0 0 ARTURO S RODRIGUEZ President 65.00 0.00 X X 78679 0 0 IRV HERSHENBAUM 1st V.P. 65.00 0.00 X X 60127 0 0 GIEV KASHKOOLI 3rd V.P. 60.00 0.00 X 65621 0 0 ERICKA OROPEZA National VP 65.00 0.00 X 42390 0 0 DIANA TELLEFSON-TORRES NATIONAL V.P. 0.00 45.00 X 0 52500 0 ARMANDO ELENES NATIONAL V.P. 65.00 0.00 X 84174 0 0 ERIK NICHOLSON NATIONAL V.P. 50.00 0.00 X 66538 0 0 Tanis Ybarra Advisor 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 429802 52500 0 true false false RFK MEDICAL PLAN PO BOX 62 KEENE CA 93531 MEDICAL PLAN 433490 NATIONAL CHAVEZ CENTER PO BOX 62 KEENE CA 93531 RENTAL/ UTILITIES 253032 TRANSAMERICAN MAILING 355 STATE PLACE ESCONDIDO CA 92029 POSTAGE 165787 MOTEL 6 4001 INTERNATIONAL WAY CARROLTON TX 75007 HOTEL 116041 ANTHEM 800 CARILLON PARKWAY ST PETERSBURG FL 33716 INSURANCE 132549 5 2682858 2682858 Contract Services 517122 517122 Membership Dues 3803852 3803852 4320974 43188 43188 0 0 0 0 0 0 39189 61686 -22497 -22497 Miscellaneous 12983 12983 12983 7037506 56171 4298477 0 21600 0 0 429802 0 2682709 28401 625598 310138 0 12419 52425 0 114010 0 100204 119607 30488 43134 0 636410 590687 0 93756 1950 0 0 281690 DIRECT MAIL 294528 Consulting 182177 COMITTEE RANCHES 140941 TELEPHONE 107049 327211 7226934 0 0 0 785741 508674 0 151605 156338 383484 422291 0 0 0 58221 56572 33926 74368 1010820 315344 8847 695476 1659634 1811253 0 0 0 1 3081458 3724973 198663 247435 681486 167043 238394 365706 1167315 X 2710547 2552453 5205 5205 2715752 2557658 3081458 3724973 -189428 31334 X false true X true false RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 151079 151079 530377 530377 329364 315344 14020 695476 Accrued Payroll 126907 Other Misc Payables 59710 SETTLEMENT EXPENSE 51777 238394 X X X false GORDON & SCWENK 360 N SEPULVEDA EL SEGUNDO CA 90245 TELEMARKETING true 183702 114010 69692 183702 114010 69692 true 0 0 ASSISTANCE TO WIDOWS OF MARTYRS 2 10000 CASH SCHOLARSHIPS TO FARMWORKER STUDENTS 10 11600 CASH false false false Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process A COPY OF THE FORM 990 WAS PROVIDED TO THE CONTROLLER AND THE PRESIDENT OF THE ORGANIZATION.
