That’s because the team used to be known as the Oakland Athletics, until they left Oakland last year. The A’s are now \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/athletics-cubs-new-home-af4f42e4c41b7ba6f1f7576c86d613f5\">set to play\u003c/a> at least three seasons in their new home in West Sacramento, while the team prepares for a permanent move to Las Vegas.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thousands of workers across the University of California are \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/health/article/ucsf-union-strike-april-1-2025-20246810.php\">walking off the job\u003c/a> again Tuesday.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Almost 60 years ago, Cesar Chavez ended a 25-day fast at Memorial Park in Delano. He was protesting the treatment of farmworkers across California. On \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13973786/cesar-chavez-day-farmworkers-california\">Cesar Chavez Day\u003c/a>, thousands of people marched from that same park, to continue in the legendary labor leader’s footsteps. \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2 class=\"Page-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/athletics-cubs-new-home-af4f42e4c41b7ba6f1f7576c86d613f5\">\u003cstrong>Athletics Usher In New Era In West Sacramento\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Thousands showed up at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento Monday night for the home opener for the Athletics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attendance was a sellout of 12,119. The stadium can hold up to 13,146 when including seating on a right-field grass berm. This is expected to be the team’s home for at least the next three years before the A’s aim to move into a new ballpark in Las Vegas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Metz flew in from Seattle for the game. He’s a lifelong A’s fan who grew up in Tracy and Elk Grove. “I grew up 20 minutes from the stadium that we’re playing at tonight, so it’s pretty surreal and I couldn’t miss it,” Metz said. But it was also bittersweet for Metz, who said he’s still upset the team left Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katie Hung, a lifetime A’s fan from the Bay Area, says she’s happy for the city of Sacramento. “I think it’s awesome that the people are excited about this, but again, they’re gonna go through the same thing,” she said. “They’re probably gonna get attached to our guys for three years and then they’re gonna be ripped out from under the rug.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the A’s trailing 16-3 in \u003cspan class=\"LinkEnhancement\">\u003ca class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" href=\"https://apnews.com/article/cubs-athletics-score-kelly-cycle-3d680aba60c31146df15364e382d8e40\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\">an 18-3 loss,\u003c/a>\u003c/span> fans began hollering, “Sell The Team!” as they had all of last season as a rallying cry directed at owner John Fisher.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>UC Workers Take Part In One Day Walkout\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Thousands of workers across the University of California system are \u003ca href=\"https://static1.squarespace.com/static/638cdae05d25ea7a456cce1e/t/67e59bb27fb1601ca377b00f/1743100850821/RELEASE_April+1+Strike+at+UC.pdf\">walking off the job Tuesday.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is part of a longstanding contract dispute between unions representing healthcare, service, research and other employees and the UC system.

In 1962, Chavez left the comfort of a salaried position at the Community Service Organization and moved his family to Delano where he, alongside his wife and their eight young children, launched \u003ca href=\"https://californiahistoricalsociety.org/blog/september-30-1962-the-national-farm-workers-association-is-founded/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the National Farm Workers Association\u003c/a>. Lacking a paycheck but dedicated to unionizing the farm labor force, in 1965, Chavez traveled across California’s Imperial and San Joaquin valleys to recruit new members for the movement that would eventually become the United Farm Workers union. During this recruitment period, Chavez relied on donations to get by.\u003c/p>\n\n",

That’s because the team used to be known as the Oakland Athletics, until they left Oakland last year. The A’s are now \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/athletics-cubs-new-home-af4f42e4c41b7ba6f1f7576c86d613f5\">set to play\u003c/a> at least three seasons in their new home in West Sacramento, while the team prepares for a permanent move to Las Vegas.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thousands of workers across the University of California are \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/health/article/ucsf-union-strike-april-1-2025-20246810.php\">walking off the job\u003c/a> again Tuesday.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Almost 60 years ago, Cesar Chavez ended a 25-day fast at Memorial Park in Delano.

On \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13973786/cesar-chavez-day-farmworkers-california\">Cesar Chavez Day\u003c/a>, thousands of people marched from that same park, to continue in the legendary labor leader’s footsteps. \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2 class=\"Page-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/athletics-cubs-new-home-af4f42e4c41b7ba6f1f7576c86d613f5\">\u003cstrong>Athletics Usher In New Era In West Sacramento\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Thousands showed up at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento Monday night for the home opener for the Athletics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attendance was a sellout of 12,119. The stadium can hold up to 13,146 when including seating on a right-field grass berm. This is expected to be the team’s home for at least the next three years before the A’s aim to move into a new ballpark in Las Vegas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Metz flew in from Seattle for the game. He’s a lifelong A’s fan who grew up in Tracy and Elk Grove. “I grew up 20 minutes from the stadium that we’re playing at tonight, so it’s pretty surreal and I couldn’t miss it,” Metz said. But it was also bittersweet for Metz, who said he’s still upset the team left Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katie Hung, a lifetime A’s fan from the Bay Area, says she’s happy for the city of Sacramento. “I think it’s awesome that the people are excited about this, but again, they’re gonna go through the same thing,” she said. “They’re probably gonna get attached to our guys for three years and then they’re gonna be ripped out from under the rug.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

People from all over North America arrived in successive waves to pick and process the crops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fragrance that wafted in the air — to this day, I will never, never forget it,” said Alvarado. “The valley was just replete with blossoms.

It was very uncomfortable, to say the least,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alvarado’s life closely parallels the South Bay’s most famous Chicano export. César Chávez also moved here with his family in 1948. At one point, as a young man, he would work in an apricot orchard like Alvarado, making less than a dollar an hour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We lived in tents for two years. We lived in tin shacks for two years. Until finally, we were able to rent a house up in the foothills of Evergreen,” she said, referring to the neighborhood in East San José.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Successive waves of migration\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Given the name, it’s obvious San José was founded by Latinos; on Nov. 29, 1777, as the Pueblo de San José de Guadalupe, to be specific. But it wasn’t until after the Civil War, when railroads crisscrossed North America, linking farmers and ranchers to millions of hungry consumers, that Mexicans began traveling north of the border to work on farms and ranches in the Western U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The railroads are definitely a sign of industrialization, and they’re used not only to bring fruit out to markets, but bring labor in,” said Dr. Margo McBane, history professor and co-director of an extensive oral history project based at San José State called \u003ca href=\"https://library.sjsu.edu/b4sv\">Before Silicon Valley: A History of Mexican Agricultural and Cannery Workers of Santa Clara County, 1920–1960\u003c/a>.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Blanca Alvarado\"]‘I have maintained throughout my political career that there is nothing that I can do by myself. We live in a tumultuous political time now. And one of the sad parts of our political institutions is the inability to collaborate and to work together for a joint common purpose.’[/pullquote]“Mexican workers were referred to as traqueros,” said co-director Suzanne Guerra. For Guerra, like many on her team, this history is personal. “My grandfather was one of those who came in [to the Western U.S.] at 14 years old on a railroad car all the way up to Chicago to work,” Guerra said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the beginning, Guerra says, the people like her grandfather who picked the crops were at the bottom of the economic and social hierarchy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They were subject to the whims of the weather, just as the farmers were. So if the crop got wiped out, you didn’t have a job. And also, you were subject to the seasonality of things,” Guerra said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as the decades wore on, many Mexican Americans moved into better-paying cannery jobs, and into the middle class. Blanca Alvarado’s generation — born in the 1930s — was poised to flex its political muscle and advocate for change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11957884\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/IMG_5295.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11957884\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/IMG_5295-800x1201.jpg\" alt=\"A vintage headshot of a Latina woman. \" width=\"800\" height=\"1201\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/IMG_5295-800x1201.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/IMG_5295-1020x1531.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/IMG_5295-160x240.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/IMG_5295-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/IMG_5295-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/IMG_5295.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Even as a teenager in this San José High School headshot from the late 1940s, you can see the self-possession and steely determination that would mark Blanca Alvarado’s political career in the decades to follow. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Blanca Alvarado)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>A golden age for culture and politics\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Alvarado met her first husband, local radio host and activist Jose Alvarado, when she was a senior at San José High.

She would come in after school to listen to the jukebox and play games like ping pong and Chinese checkers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He had a huge following on KLOK. He was the most prominent bilingual radio broadcaster in Northern California,” she recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They married in 1953. Five children soon followed. The marriage provided Blanca Alvarado with a golden ticket of sorts, access to the backstages of San José’s music scene.

Then they hit it big in Mexico City. And so they never came back until years later.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the oral histories Guerra and her colleagues collected over more than 15 years, local elders speak of a time when San José drew Mexican Americans from farming regions far and wide, looking for fun and community on the weekends. “When you went to the big city, you know, you didn’t go to San Francisco,” said Guerra. “You went to San José.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because San José had everything. It had the shops. It had the movie theaters. It had the dances, the ballrooms, the clubs, the bookstores. It had all these Spanish-speaking services,” she said.

Guerra says many of Alvarado’s neighbors in East San José — including César Chávez — were Mexican American veterans of World War II, angry and frustrated by all sorts of systemic inequities in housing, infrastructure and schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They had sacrificed so much, and contributed to the American, the Allied victory. And what obligations [did] the country [fulfill] to its citizens? These were things that, by law, we’re entitled to!” Guerra said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even as the rest of the region boomed with new suburban development in the decades following World War II, East San José struggled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were no sidewalks. There were no streetlights,” Alvarado recalled. Things were so bad back then, locals nicknamed their neighborhood “Sal si puede,” or “Get out if you can.” Alvarado said the nickname stuck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“During the rainy season, the storms would be so bad and the mud would be so thick that it was difficult to get out,” she said. “So from ‘Sal si puede,’ we went to ‘Sí se puede.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Si se puede” translates to “Yes, we can,” and it’s a slogan \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=10156066250300256\">credited to Dolores Huerta\u003c/a>, who co-founded the National Farm Workers Association (later called the United Farm Workers union) with César Chávez. In the decades since, the slogan has been adopted by activists all over the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alvarado remembers meetings Chávez held in her garage. “We saw our movement beginning to pick up steam and presence with César Chávez, CSO and the farmworker call for action as well. So today, when we talk about César Chávez, I think we do it with nostalgia for the man. But [also]for the time that we experienced with him. There was so much excitement. There was so much energy. There was so much goodwill.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Chávez didn’t come out of nowhere,” said Margo McBane of San José State. “He came out of the shoulders of all these other people working for labor and community civil rights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In San José, in Los Angeles, and in other urban communities, we, the Mexican American people, were dominated by a majority that was Anglo,” Chávez said in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qB1jwR1h9qo\">Commonwealth Club address\u003c/a> in 1984. “I began to realize that the only answer, the only hope, was in organizing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the 1970s wore on, the Chicano Movement made steady gains: improving conditions for migrant farmworkers, establishing Chicano studies in California schools and universities, and getting Mexican Americans elected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Alvarado said it was slow going “because we were not allowed to be part of the establishment, of the rulers of the time. We had to form our own institutions and we had to form our own protest organizations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alvarado became the president of the Santa Clara County chapter of the Mexican American Political Association. She got into commission and committee work where she and other members learned the rules about how to confront, petition, and be a voice in government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alvarado helped push for San José to switch from at-large to district elections, making it much easier for political newcomers to win elections, especially in under-represented areas. In 1980, she ran to represent her district, and won. That’s when she became the first Latina member of the San José City Council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11957885\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/IMG_5302.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11957885\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/IMG_5302-800x640.jpg\" alt='A vintage photo a party with a banner that reads \"Blanca Alvarado our 1st\" with a woman in a blue dress standing next to a man in a white suit holding a microphone facing a group of men playing instruments.' width=\"800\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/IMG_5302-800x640.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/IMG_5302-1020x816.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/IMG_5302-160x128.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/IMG_5302-1536x1229.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/IMG_5302-1920x1536.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">In 1980, Blanca Alvarado ran for a seat on the San José City Council.

People from all over North America arrived in successive waves to pick and process the crops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fragrance that wafted in the air — to this day, I will never, never forget it,” said Alvarado. “The valley was just replete with blossoms.

It had the shops. It had the movie theaters. It had the dances, the ballrooms, the clubs, the bookstores. It had all these Spanish-speaking services,” she said.

Things were so bad back then, locals nicknamed their neighborhood “Sal si puede,” or “Get out if you can.” Alvarado said the nickname stuck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>The Supreme Court on Wednesday tightened the leash on union representatives and their ability to organize farmworkers in California and elsewhere. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At issue in the case was a California law that allows union organizers to enter farms to speak to workers during non-working hours – before and after work, as well as during lunch – for a set a number of days each year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By a 6-3 vote along ideological lines, the court \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/20971158-cedar-point-nursery-et-al-v-hassid\">ruled\u003c/a> that the law – enacted nearly 50 years ago after a campaign by famed organizer Cesar Chavez – unconstitutionally appropriates private land by allowing organizers to go on farm property to drum up union support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision is a potentially mortal blow that threatens the very existence of the farmworkers union. However, the ruling stopped short of upending other laws that allow government officials to enter private property to inspect and enforce health and safety rules that cover everything from restaurants to toxic chemical sites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court's decision on Wednesday was only the latest in a series of decisions that have aimed directly at the heart of organized labor in the United States. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most recently, in 2018, the court hamstrung public-sector unions' efforts to raise money for collective bargaining. In that decision, the court by a 5-4 vote overturned a 40-year precedent that had allowed unions to collect limited \"fair share\" fees from workers not in the union but who benefited from the terms of the contract that the union negotiated. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case decided by the court on Wednesday began in 2015 at Cedar Point Nursery, near the Oregon border. The nursery's owner, Mike Fahner, claimed that union organizers entered the farm at 5 a.m. one morning, without the required notice, and began harassing his workers with bullhorns. The general counsel for the United Farm Workers, Mario Martinez, countered that the people with bullhorns were striking workers, not union organizers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='More Labor Coverage' tag='labor']When Cedar Point filed a complaint with the California Agricultural Labor Relations Board, the board found no illegal behavior and dismissed the complaint. Cedar Point, joined by another California grower, appealed all the way to the Supreme Court, arguing they should be able to exclude organizers from their farms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court's decision could be disastrous for unions in general, but especially those that represent low-income workers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The growers asserted that unions should have no problem organizing workers in the era of the internet. But many of the workers at Cedar Point don't own smartphones and don't have internet access. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What's more, many speak Spanish or indigenous languages and live scattered throughout the area, in motels, labor camps or with friends and family, often moving after just a few weeks when the seasonal harvest is over. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2021 NPR.

However, the ruling stopped short of upending other laws that allow government officials to enter private property to inspect and enforce health and safety rules that cover everything from restaurants to toxic chemical sites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court's decision on Wednesday was only the latest in a series of decisions that have aimed directly at the heart of organized labor in the United States. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The nursery's owner, Mike Fahner, claimed that union organizers entered the farm at 5 a.m. one morning, without the required notice, and began harassing his workers with bullhorns. The general counsel for the United Farm Workers, Mario Martinez, countered that the people with bullhorns were striking workers, not union organizers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
