Japanese-Mexican Labor Association

The Japanese-Mexican Labor Association (JMLA) was a labor union created in February 1903 by Japanese and Mexican sugar beet thinners in Oxnard, California. The JMLA was created to combat the wage cuts that the Western Agricultural Contracting Company (WACC) was trying to impose on the sugar beet laborers.
