*Radicchio - is a beautiful, gourmet salad vegetable of Italian origin, with an appealingly bitter yet nut-like taste. Like a mix between a slow-growing head lettuce and a Napa cabbage, radicchio is best grown in spring. It belongs to the Asteraceae family alongside dandelions and other chicory vegetables like last weeks endive.

We stand in solidarity with farm workers in California where the Supreme Court has ruled 6 to 3 that a California labor law violated the constitutional rights of property owners by giving union organizers access to workers on privately owned farms during their work breaks. The union-busting decision strikes down a crucial part of a landmark 1975 labor law that was the United States’ first to recognize agricultural workers’ rights to collective bargaining and grew out of efforts by the United Farm Workers to demand better pay and working conditions for California’s agricultural workers. “This ruling is a setback for unions, for workers’ rights,” says Camila Chávez, executive director of the Dolores Huerta Foundation.
