The entire article is quite non-neutral, taking the position throughout that the workers are being repressed, offering their points of view (e.g. "To the union, this was...", "pointing out" v. "claim" for the owners) and painting things in radically different colors, e.g. when the growers combine against the workers, it's sometimes "heavy-handed, and some actually coercive", and the sheriff's deputies are attempting to intimidate Pollock et al., while when the workers combine against the growers and search cars, no comments are given. Another example: "The governor saw no problem..." is a clear implication that we ought so to see. When a judge issues an injunction, it's "anti-labor". All of this combines to create a clear appearance of "help help, they're being repressed" because of the violence inherent in the onion growers' system.
