Youngdahl disses the Bishop

Sacramento's new Bishop, Jaime Soto, wrote to Blue Diamond CEO Doug Youngdahl March 26.

"Historically, the success of Blue Diamond Growers is the result of the growers' own efforts to work together for each others' benefits," the Bishop wrote. "The earnest ambitions of your employees are no different. I sincerely hope and pray that both the Growers and their employees will find an equitable accommodation to resolve this unnecessary labor-management tension."

The Bishop also urged Blue Diamond to agree to fair ground rules for a union vote, and offered any of the parish halls in Sacramento as a location for the election.

Youngdahl has yet to respond.
