  • Status of Civil Society: Brutality and manipulation kept the California grape farm workers defeated.  They were not able to organize and unionize as quickly as other industries.  (173-174).
  • Demographics: California grape farm workers were not progressing much past the poverty, homelessness, or economic exploitation of the 20th century. (173).
  • Economics: In 1965, Filipino and Mexican American grape farm workers were being paid 20-30 cents less than braceros.  (174).
  • Strike Efforts: The underpaid grape farm workers affiliated with the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee staged a strike across 9 different farms. (174) Efforts continued by engaging with support form the community through public demonstrations (176), boycotting loading docks (178), marches across the State of California to the State house in Sacramento (179), and eventually a nationwide supermarket boycott (183).

    Third parties of the Grape Workers Strike of 1965-1970 were significant in the support gained during Cesar Chavez's boycott campaign. Chavez called upon the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA) for assistance and numbers to help gain organization and solidarity in their efforts (174). Other unaffiliated parties would wind up joining the opposition. Farm owners hired security guards to intimidate the protesters (175). When the sheriffs planned to arrest protesters for arbitrary reasons, local clergyman David Havens stood at the head of the crowd and was arrested on camera (176). This further solidified the protesters and public's taste of distrust toward the farm owners and police. Without these third parties association with the cause, the boycott would not have been as successful as it turned out to be.

     What were the problems the workers faced and what did they hope to accomplish? 
     
    -The Boycott was a result of poor wages and harsh working conditions 
     
    -The overall goal of the boycott was to receive increased pay and improved working conditions (eliminate the use of toxic chemicals)  174
     
     -Unionizing the farm work was another major goal. Rules and regulations enabled this to be done through contracts and state laws.  176
