"THEIR DAY IN COURT" FOR GOLDEN FARM WORKERS

UPDATE: The hearing has been postponed until Wednesday, January 29th, at 9:00 a.m.

Good faith on the part of Golden Farm's owner has been conspicuously absent during negotiations for a job contract between him and his employees. So states the complaint that the union* representing those employees filed with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

The union, since November 2012, has been trying to negotiate a fair contract between the two parties--owner Sonny Kim and union members who work in Golden Farm. In August 2013, after nine months of negotiations, the union filed the Unfair Labor Practice complaint.

The NLRB has determined that the complaint has merit. It has scheduled a hearing for this Wednesday at 9:00 a.m. on the fifth floor of 2 Metrotech. See the map for the building's location and for travel directions. The hearing is open to the public.
