UFW Sues Kern County For 500 Million Over Strike Clashes
The United Farm Workers filed a $500 million damage suit in Fresno federal court against Kern County authorities led by Sheriff Charles Dodge and District Attorney Albert Leddy. Cesar Chavez said the suit aims to end a climate of fear and repression and to empower renewed strikes in tomato fields, amid past killings and injunctions during the last year’s organizing drive.
