Sacramento Bee: Jerry Brown's major achievement in his first year as governor in 1975 was the Agricultural Labor Relations Act, creating a first-in-the-nation mechanism for the United Farm Workers union to seek contracts with growers.
It did not, contrary to expectations, result in the massive unionization of field workers. Thirty-eight years later, the reasons are still being debated.
