In the crews where we support and we want a contract they retaliate against us by not giving us work regardless that many of workers have many, many years working there and without justification they were laid off while others with less time on the job were kept working only because they are on the side of the company. I was working with the crew of Rigoberto Hernandez and for supporting the union I was laid off and I called my foreman and he told me there was no more work. At this time the grape was just about to begin. They did the same with other co workers in other crews that also supported the Union. They stopped them while other crews kept working. The attitude of the company was very evident and became notorious for ‘stopping us for supporting the union’.
