National Farmworkers Association

The National Farmworkers Association (NFA) was founded in the early 1960s to advocate for the rights and welfare of farmworkers, primarily in the United States. It aimed to improve working conditions, wages, and access to healthcare for agricultural laborers, many of whom faced exploitation. The association later merged with the United Farm Workers (UFW), which became a prominent labor union led by figures like Cesar Chavez. The NFA played a crucial role in raising awareness about the struggles of farmworkers and organized efforts to secure better treatment and fair labor practices in the agricultural industry.
