crackers

UNITED FARM WORKERS OF AMERICA Union organised by Cesar Chavez. In 1962 he began organizing farm workers and went on to found the UFW. He organized nationwide boycotts of grapes, wine, and lettuce in an attempt to bring pressure on California growers to sign contracts with the UFW. By 1972 the UFW had more than 60,000 members. Membership dropped, however, after the Teamsters' union began to organize farm workers in competition with the UFW. The two unions agreed in March 1977 that the UFW would have jurisdiction primarily over field workers and that the teamsters would organize truck drivers and cannery workers. In the 1980s the union boycotted table grapes to protest use of pesticides. UFW membership was about 100,000 in the early 1990s. Sep 03 01, 10:19 PM
