National Farm Workers Association (NFWA)

The National Farm Workers Association (NFWA) was founded in 1962 to advocate for better working conditions and rights for farm laborers in the United States, particularly those who were often exploited and underpaid. It united workers to demand fair wages, better labor practices, and improved living conditions. The NFWA played a crucial role in the farm workers' labor movement, particularly under the leadership of figures like César Chávez, and was instrumental in organizing strikes and boycotts that raised awareness about the challenges faced by agricultural workers. Their efforts contributed significantly to labor reforms in the agricultural sector.
