protected by the National Labor Relations Act. We demand that sanitary facilities be placed in the fields to protect both the farm workers and the consumer from disease. We ask for the right to live and work with dignity. 
For three years thousands of us have been on strike against California grape growers. The growers have rejected all efforts to negotiate the dispute and have imported illegal labor to break the strike. The Government does nothing or little to stop it. For this reason, with the help of our friends across the nation, we have begun a boycott of ALL CALIFORNIA TABLE GRAPES in order to gain our rights 
We ask to join in our common cause. DON'T BUY CALIFORNIA GRAPES until the growers recognize Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee. Together we will win the long and difficult struggle for human dignity  and social justice."

The "labor union" formed to oppose Cesar Chavez' United Farm Workers has finally been exposed for what it is, a company sponsored and financed union. 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.
