The United Farm Workers

The United Farm Workers (UFW) is a labor union in the United States that represents farmworkers, primarily in California. Founded in 1962 by leaders like Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta, the UFW advocates for better working conditions, fair wages, and labor rights for agricultural workers, many of whom are immigrants. Through strikes, boycotts, and negotiations, the UFW has aimed to improve the lives of farmworkers and raise awareness about their contributions to the economy. The organization remains active in promoting social justice and labor rights for all workers.
