- Alternative title: United Farm Workers, AFL-CIO Asks You to Boycott Grapes, Lettuce, and Gallo Wine Quote from document: “What a terrible irony it is that the very people who work and sacrifice to harvest the food we eat do not have enough food for their own children.” --Cesar Chavez Calls for: “Toilet facilities, and cool drinking water in the fieldsreasonable wagesstrict control of pesticide usagean end to child laborand the right to work under their own hiring hall.” Background information: "In 1962 Cesar [Chavez] founded the National Farm Workers Association, later to become the United Farm Workers (UFW). He was joined by Dolores Huerta and the union was born ... By 1970 the UFW got grape growers to accept union contracts and had effectively organized most of that industry, at one point in time claiming 50,000 dues paying members."
