Farm workers had been in dispute with Sakuma Brother’s Berry Farm  for the past several years before reaching a contract in June of 2017.  While the workers won a settlement in court in 2014, the workers claim  Sakuma Brothers did not made good on those promises and continue to  violate work contracts. Their demands included: a fair wage, better  working conditions, and better living conditions for migrant workers.  Sakuma Brothers insisted that their wages are fair and in line or higher  than industry standards. Many of the workers organized under a new  union called Familias Unidas por la Justicia (FUJ) to increase their  collective bargaining power and negotiate the current collective  bargaining agreement.
