C&H Sugar Protest Turns Violent | Oakland News

A major protest erupted at the C&H Sugar Facility in Crockett, with a large crowd blocking exits and delivery routes—so much so that rocks were reportedly thrown at trucks and nine people were arrested for obstruction and battery. Three remain jailed while six were released. C&H Sugar condemned the union’s actions as unsafe and illegal, despite acknowledging the right to strike, and praised law enforcement for handling the chaos. The standoff stems from months of stalled negotiations, with C&H’s latest offer including a 20% wage increase over five years, 56 sick days, and overtime pay after 40 hours—now waiting to see if talks can break the deadlock.
