Agriculture coalition files lawsuit challenging Coachella urgency ordinance A coalition of agricultural organizations has filed a lawsuit in Riverside Superior Court to block Coachella’s urgency ordinance mandating that farmers and other agricultural employers pay an additional four dollars per hour to their employees for at least 120 days. In the complaint, plaintiffs Western Growers Association, California Fresh Fruit Association and Growing Coachella Valley argue, among other claims, that there is no factual justification for the urgency ordinance, that it’s unconstitutionally vague and that the urgency ordinance will cause irreparable harm to agricultural employers for which they have no adequate remedy.
