UFW Claims "Victory" on Tomato Contract; Who Won?

The United Farm Workers Union (UFW) celebrated a new union contract on July 27 to represent 450 tomato harvest workers in the Stockton area, with the UFW claiming 1500 workers represented in the San Joaquin Valley.

 

The union contract touts an hourly increase of $1.33 for tomato harvesters, but fails to mention that these newly-minted union members will be forced to pay 3% of their earnings to the union in dues.  So who really won?
