For this reason, with the help of our friends across the nation, we have begun a boycott of ALL CALIFORNIA GRAPES in order to gain our rights. We ask you to join us in our common cause, DON'T BUY CALIFORNIA GRAPES until the growers recognize Cesar Chavez and the Untied Farm Workers Organizing Committee. Together we will win the long and difficult struggle for human dignity and social justice." For More information contact: United Farm Workers Organizing Committee, AFL-CIO P.O.

The Agricultural Workers Freedom To Work Association has admitted that it was formed and financed by growers to oppose Chavez’ efforts to organize grape pickers. Such action (to form a company union) is illegal under California law. - taken from CIC Newsletter Please contact the following, if you want any material about the Table Grape Boycott: Quad-City Grape Boycott Committee Mr. John Terronez, Chairman 1216 N.
