The longtime Southern California grocery union leader, known for tough negotiating, has died. He was 89.
Labor leader and civil rights activist Yvonne Wheeler succeeds Ron Herrera, who stepped down from the Fed in October after his involvement in a racist recording.Icaza strove for inclusion both within the union and in conversations with his family. His daughter Desiree Kellogg, who now serves as a deputy attorney general with the California attorney general’s office, credits her father as a direct influence for her current work.
“He didn’t look down at people. He was a very humble man. He just had a focus and the union was his life. That was his life, his family,” daughter Michelle Icaza said. From marching alongside farmworkers with Cesar Chavez in the 1980s to overseeing the integration of the cannabis industry into the union in the 2010s, the union credits Icaza with overseeing decades of change within labor in California.
Icaza was a romantic. According to his daughters, he wrote love letters to his future wife, Adele Salido, who had been hospitalized with tuberculosis in 1958. The two married in June 1960.
