When Manuel Gonzalez, a farmworker for around 20 years, tried to vote in a union election at his last company, he said he was let go after his employer discovered that he was organizing.

Gonzalez, 45, said he fears that if he votes at his new workplace — a farm, headquartered in Gilroy, that produces fruits and vegetables — he could lose his job or face other reprisals, putting him, his wife and sons in economic hardship.
