Joseph Gimarra Giumarra Vineyards Corportation P.O. Box 1653 Edison, California Dear Mr. Giumarra I stand firmly behind the position of your striking farmworkers and will not buy any of your products until you allow them the right to decide, by election, whether they wish to unionize. I will continue to support the national boycott of your table grapes until justice is realized on your farms. Do not hurt yourself and your workers by delaying the inevitable. Recognize now the right of your workers to bargain collectively. Signature Address City State Organization. Dear Mr. As a friend of the farmworkers, I wish to congratulate you on your decision to discontinue the sale of California table grapes. By this decision, you showed that you share with us and the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy the same concern for the oppressed minorities of this country who harvest the food we eat. The farmworkers have been fighting for five long years for basic economic rights that were granted, by legislation, to industrial workers 30 years ago. They are conducting a national boycott because they are excluded from this legislation which gives other workers the right to hold free elections, to unionize and to bargain collectively. By the growers' refusal to recognize this right for farmworkers, they are succeeding only in delaying the inevitable. I hope the before you resume the sale of California grapes you will first insist that justice is realized for the farm worker. Signature Address City State Organization Dear Congressman The farmworkers of Delano, California have been fighting for five long years in an effort to win the basic economic rights that were granted to industrial workers 30 years ago. The Wagner Act of 1935, while giving industrial workers the right to organize explicitly excluded agricultural workers from its provisions. It is now the responsibility of concerned citizens and legislators to rectify this injustice. The denial to farmworkers of their basic rights to organize and of their fair share of the prosperity their labors helped produced is a national disgrace. I urge you to support the cause of the California farm workers in their national boycott of table grapes and, at the same time. demand that justice be realized for all, even for members oppressed minority groups, by granting farmworkers the same basic rights that the rest of labor has enjoyed for 30 years. Thank you Signature Address
