Episode 5: Dolores Huerta, Co-founder of the United Farmworkers, on the need for a free and fair election


Legendary advocate for many progressive causes for over 50 years recently met with two top-level managers of Saint Joseph Health Systems to call for a free and fair election agreement. "The Sisters have had a stellar reputation through the years of helping people in need," said Huerta, "yet when it comes to their own workers, the Sisters seem to have a blind spot." She likens the need for a free and fair union election to that of having a referee in a basketball game so that "if there's a foul, it can be handled immediately."
