Rodney Strong Workers Push for Union | San Jose News

Workers at Rodney Strong Vineyards are launching one of the biggest unionization efforts in Sonoma County in decades, pushing for a card-check agreement to bypass the NLRB election process—only to be rejected by management, who insist on a secret-ballot vote. With 173 employees and half a million cases produced annually, workers cite stagnant wages, rising health costs, and recent layoffs as reasons to organize. Despite the company’s resistance, union-backed rallies and community support show momentum, as workers seek better pay, healthcare, and job security amid a shrinking wine market. Other unions are rallying behind them, emphasizing that union contracts can secure stability regardless of industry shifts.
