Last ditch attack on farm bill stalls in Senate
In Sacramento a small group of Senate Republicans pressed to derail Gov. Brown’s farm labor compromise as a key committee vote stalled and a floor decision delayed. Backers include the California Farm Bureau Federation Agricultural Council and the state Chamber of Commerce. Democratic sponsors remain hopeful of passage within a week, aiming for fall union elections amid the grape harvest. Meanwhile in San Francisco independent truck drivers win an NLRB ruling challenging Teamsters influence.
