Moreover, Ralph Flynn, executive director of the 2 million-member Coalition of American Public Employees, predicts certain passage by Congress next year of a law that would give public employees the same bargaining rights as workers in the private sector. The legislation, now in House and Senate committees, would allow city employees to choose between striking or going to arbitration in the event of a negotiating impasse. "There will be strikes," predicts William H. McClennan, president of the International Association of Firefighters...
Marcus, national chairman of the National Caucus of Labor Committees, went even farther into fantasy.

But the number of large farms is simply no indication of their power and influence in the market. As the above figures show, a few farms dominate that sector of the market that employs farm labor, and it is primarily against these large farms that UFW has struggled in California, Florida, Arizona and other states...
