50 YEARS AGO: It was announced that Gallo Winery of Modesto and Franzia Brothers Winery of Ripon confirmed that the AFL-CIO and the Teamsters Union came to an agreement on representing workers and would lead to the end of picketing of both wineries. Cesar Chazez, leader of the AFL-CIO United Farm Workers, declared all issues between the two unions were settled. Using an interfaith mediator from San Francisco, it was agreed that the AFL-CIO would represent farm workers, while the Teamsters would represent workers in canneries, creameries, frozen food processing plants, warehouses and markets.
