Before: SNEED and KLEINFELD, Circuit Judges, and WALLACH, International Trade Judge.


SNEED, Circuit Judge:

This opinion springs from controversies possible only in a highly specialized, vertically integrated industry, heavily dependent on relatively low skilled agricultural workers, whom a strong international union seeks to organize, and in which each major party is more than amply represented by members of the legal profession. The opinion thus reflects both the soil of California and the intense competitiveness of its people.
