Britannica Online Encyclopedia: UFW

Farm worker ties bags of onions, May 1972

"United Farm Workers of America (UFW) is a labor union founded in 1962 as the National Farm Workers Association by Cesar Chavez, a migrant farm laborer. The union merged with the American Federation of Labor–Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) in 1966 and was re-formed under its current name in 1971 to achieve collective bargaining rights for farmworkers in the United States. In 2006 the UFW disaffiliated from the AFL-CIO and joined the labor federation, Change to Win."

"The UFW seeks to empower migrant farmworkers and improve their wages and working conditions. It also works to espouse nonviolence and to educate members on political and social issues."
