    Farmers and Private Property Rights | Supreme Court will hear union trespassing case

    The U.S. Supreme Court announced that it will hear a challenge to a California law that allows employee unions to trespass on private property. California law requires agriculture producers to open their property and businesses to union activists, which disrupts their business operations and takes their property without compensation. 

    Early one morning in 2015, hundreds of workers at Cedar Point Nursery were startled when union activists came into their place of business, yelling into bullhorns and demanding that the workers join the union. Mike Fahner, owner of Cedar Point, decided to challenge that state law that forced him to host the union’s activities.  

    “The Constitution forbids government from requiring you to allow unwanted strangers onto your property. And union activists are no exception,” said Joshua Thompson, a senior attorney at Pacific Legal Foundation which asked the high court to hear the case. “California’s regulation that allows them to do so violates property owners’ fundamental right to exclude trespassers.” 

    The case is Cedar Point Nursery v. Hassid. Pacific Legal Foundation represents Cedar Point Nursery and Fowler Packing Company free of charge.

    Non employees in private property… sounds like an insurance liability issue.
