Grape Strike

The Grape Strike refers to a labor movement in the 1960s and 1970s led by California grape farm workers, primarily organized by activists like César Chávez and the United Farm Workers (UFW) union. They sought better wages, working conditions, and rights for agricultural laborers. The strike gained widespread public attention and support, using boycotts and protests to pressure grape growers for change. It highlighted issues of labor rights and social justice in agriculture, ultimately leading to improved conditions and agreements for many workers in the industry.
