After five years of strikes and boycotts, table grape growers in California sign their first collective bargaining agreement with the United Farm Workers.

DOJ Moves to Dismiss Criminal Case Against CA Labor Leader
Updated On: Jul 29, 2026
July 29, 2026 | JUSTICE | […] The U.S. attorney’s office in Los Angeles filed a motion Monday to dismiss its case against David Huerta, president of Service Employees International Union California, which has more than 750,000 members, including janitors, security officers and other workers. The government will seek to have the case permanently withdrawn within weeks if Huerta continues to comply with the terms of his pretrial release and stays out of trouble, prosecutors said. Huerta said in a statement that he was tackled, pepper-sprayed and detained for exercising his constitutional rights to protest and cast the case against him as part of a broader “weaponization of the judicial system.” NBC News
