Jul 22, 2024 Benjamin Sachs and Riva Yeo

Three years ago, the Supreme Court decided Cedar Point Nursery and held that a California regulation granting union organizers limited access to farm owner property constitutes a taking. As a result, in order for California to continue enforcing this Agricultural Labor Relations Act (ALRA) regulation and guaranteeing union organizers access to farm property, the state […]

Happy Labor Day! For more on the origins of this federal holiday celebrating workers, see Kevin’s weekend post, which provides a helpful backgrounder. There’s much reason for optimism this Labor Day.

LISTEN: The Impact of Cedar Point on Organizing and Labor Law Reform

Jul 5, 2021 Jon Levitan

Ben recently appeared on Dissent Magazine’s Belabored podcast to discuss the fallout from Cedar Point v. Hassid, where the Supreme Court held that a California law requiring farmowners to allow union organizers onto their property to speak with workers was unconstitutional unless California compensates the farmowners. The excerpt is below. Read more of our coverage on Cedar Point from Ben, Ross, and Andrew […]

The Court’s Cedar Point Opinion – Haven’t I Seen This Movie Before?

Jun 30, 2021 Andrew Strom

When the current Supreme Court decides a labor case, it’s like watching top film stars in the third sequel to a movie franchise – you know how it’s going to turn out and you also know that you’re not going to see their best work. The 6-3 decision in Cedar Point Nursery v. Hassid is […]

The Supreme Court dealt a major blow to the organizing rights of California farmworkers yesterday, ruling in Cedar Point Nursery v. Hassid, 141 S.

Property Owners Win Big in Cedar Point Nursery v. Hassid

Jun 23, 2021 Ross Slaughter

Earlier today, in Cedar Point Nursey v. Hassid, the Supreme Court held that a California regulation that grants union organizers temporary access to farm property to speak with agricultural workers is a per se taking under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.

A Small Point About Cedar Point

Jun 23, 2021 Benjamin Sachs

Ross will soon have our summary of the Court’s decision in Cedar Point, holding that a California regulation granting unions limited access to agricultural employers’ property is a per se physical taking. I write to make a basic point, one which is flagged briefly in Justice Breyer’s dissent. In short, today’s holding – as bad […]

Does Ownership Mean Absolute Dominion?

Apr 13, 2021 Ross Slaughter

In State v. Shack, New Jersey’s Supreme Court declared it “unthinkable” that property rights entitled agricultural employers to “isolate the migrant worker in any respect significant for the worker’s well-being.” Last month, in Cedar Point Nursery v. Hassid, two agribusinesses asked the U.S. Supreme Court to do the unthinkable. They claim that a California regulation […]

Law. Workers. Organizing.

OnLabor is a blog devoted to workers, unions, and their politics. We interpret our subject broadly to include the current crisis in the traditional union movement (why union decline is happening and what it means for our society); the new and contested forms of worker organization that are filling the labor union gap; how work ought to be structured and managed; how workers ought to be represented and compensated; and the appropriate role of government — all three branches — in each of these issues.
