UFW Administration Department Files UFW Administration Department Files Papers 1960-1975 (Predominantly 1968-1973) 26 linear feet 26 storage boxes Part 1 Accession # 221 OCLC # DALNET # The National Farm Workers Association (NFWA) was founded in 1962. In 1966 it affiliated with the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee to form the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee (UFWOC). In 1973 the UFWOC became the United Farm Workers, AFL-CIO. Cesar Chavez led the Farm Workers from the NFWA’s founding until his death in 1993. The Administration Department files reflect the wide range of people and groups with whom the UFW corresponded. In addition, the work of the union itself is represented, including boycott files from around the United States, Canada, and Europe. There are files from the union’s newspaper El Malcriado, and papers showing the work of the union print shop El Taller Grafico. Some of the files of California Assemblyman Art Torres are also in this collection. This collection is especially rich in the correspondence, agreements, negotiations, and grievances that the UFW had with the southern California grape growers in the early 1970s. Important subjects in the collection: Boycotts Health / Pesticides Contracts Le Roy Chatfield Grievances Art Torres Important correspondents in the collection: Cesar Chavez Edward Kennedy Archbishop Hugh Donohoe Bill Kircher (AFL-CIO) Dolores Huerta Pete Seeger Non-Manuscript Material: A number of photographs, bumper stickers, buttons, and cloth goods have been placed in the Archives Audio-Visual Collection.

Lawrence ABSTRACT This study examines the role of the Bracero Program in the growth of Sonoma and Napa County viticulture in an attempt to understand how important bracero labor was to the industry. While most histories of the Bracero Program are nationwide or statewide in scope, this study explores the regional complexities of how and why the program was used in Sonoma and Napa Counties, how both the growers and laborers in the region felt about it, and how this was different from and similar to other regions. Government documents provided the statistics necessary to determine the demographic changes in the region due to the Bracero Program. Important primary source material that provided the human side of the story includes a number of oral history interviews I conducted, the collection of Wine Industry Oral Histories, and various regional newspaper articles.

  • The Chicano Movement
    The Chicano Movement By Fawn-Amber Montoya, Ph.D. The Chicano Movement represented Mexican Americans’ fight for equal rights after the Second World War. The rights that they desired included equality in education and housing, representation in voting, equal conditions in labor, and the recognition and celebration of their ethnic heritage. The Chicano Movement includes leaders such as Cesar Chavez, United Farm Workers (UFW) who worked to achieve better sanitation and wages for farm workers. Chavez advocated non violent action as the best method of achieving the goals of the UFW. He encouraged striking, boycotting, and marching as peaceful methods to achieve one’s goals. While the UFW was formed in California Chavez encouraged and participated in boycotts and strikes throughout the Southwestern United States. In New Mexico, Reyes Lopez Tijerina fought to regain lands that had been taken from Hispanics after the Mexican-American War. Tijerina believed that if the government and Anglo land owners failed to return lands unlawfully or unethically taken from Mexican Americans after the war in 1848, then Chicanos should use force. In Texas, Jose Angel Gutierrez assisted in the formation of La Raza Unida party which encouraged Mexican Americans to participate in voting, and to run for local, state, and national positions of leadership. La Raza Unida brought together Chicanos throughout the Southwest, but was most successful in Crystal City Texas, where the party was successful in electing local Chicanos to the school board. Rudulfo “Corky “ Gonzalez assisted in establishing the Crusade for Justice in Colorado. The Crusade aided high school and university students in gaining more representation at Colorado universities and establishing Chicano Studies courses and programs in high schools and universities.

  • The United Farm Workers: a Translation of American Idealism C
    The United Farm Workers: A Translation of American Idealism c.1973 John R. Moyer In 1962 a former migrant farm worker, naval veteran of World War II, and past organizer and director of California’s Community Service Organization moved his family to asmall town in the center of the San Joaquin Valley and began knocking on the doors of the run- down houses of farm workers. As people came to the door he told them that the only way farm workers could gain justice and human dignity was to unite in an organization strong enough to enable them to bargain with their employers. He asked them to help him build such an organization, requested a small contribution of money for operating expenses as a sign of their commitment, and promised them nothing except years of hard work. Many told him to “go to hell.” Many more shrugged their shoulders. But every now and then someone would join him in his effort. The town was Delano. The man was Cesar Estrada Chavez. Today, after ten years of struggle against the most incredible odds, Cesar Chavez is the leader of an organization of more than thirty thousand farm workers who, within the coming year, will hold their founding convention, elect officers, and officially become the first successful union of agricultural workers in the history of this nation. The forces arrayed against this small union are as formidable as ever. Thirty thousand members represent a strong and viable organization, but they are a small percentage of the one million farm workers throughout the country who struggle to gain a living at a time when agriculture has become big business and is steadily replacing people with machines.

  • United States Farmworker Fact Sheet
    UNITED STATES FARMWORKER FACT SHEET Who are Farmworkers?1 A migrant farmworker is an individual whose principal employment is seasonal agriculture and who travels and lives in temporary housing. Nearly 40% of migrant workers are “shuttle migrants,” who “shuttle” from a residence in Mexico, for example, to do work in one area of the US. Seventeen percent are “follow-the-crop migrants” who move with the crops. Most migrant workers are foreign-born.9 A seasonal farmworker is an individual whose principal employment is agricultural labor but who is a permanent resident of a community and does not move into temporary housing when employed in farm work. Forty-four percent of farmworkers are seasonal farmworkers, and the majority of these are US-born.9 Demographics Income and Poverty 11 X There are 2-3 million farmworkers in the US. X Over 3/5 of farmworkers are poor, and this is increasing. 75% 2 earn less than $10,000 annually.

  • United States District Court District of Connecticut
    UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT ILLINOIS TOOL WORKS INC., Plaintiff, v. No. 3:19-cv-01434 (JAM) J-B WELD COMPANY, LLC, Defendant. ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION This case arises at an uncommon intersection between the repair of car mufflers and principles of intellectual property law. For several decades now, plaintiff Illinois Tool Works Inc. (ITW) has trademarked the term “MUFFLER WELD” for a product it sells to seal cracks on car mufflers. But last year J-B Weld Company, LLC (J-B Weld) began to sell its own formulation of a muffler sealant using the mark “MufflerWeld.” In light of the similarity of these terms, ITW has now moved for a preliminary injunction to bar J-B Weld from continuing to market its product under the “MufflerWeld” name during the pendency of this litigation. ITW argues that it is likely to succeed on its trademark infringement claim and that it is being irreparably harmed. In response, J-B Weld argues that the difference in trade dress (packaging) between its product and ITW’s product defeats any claim of trademark infringement, and that ITW has not shown irreparable injury in any event. For the reasons described below, I will grant ITW’s motion for a preliminary injunction. BACKGROUND The facts relevant to this motion for a preliminary injunction are largely uncontested. ITW has, since 1976, sold a sealant for automotive exhaust systems under the name “MUFFLER WELD.” Doc. #4-2 at 1 (¶ 3) (“Agrafojo Decl.”). In 1977, the United States Patent and Trademark Office entered a trademark for MUFFLER WELD on the Principal Register, “for paste sealer for repairing muffler holes,” noting that the application disclaimed the word “muffler” aside from the mark as shown.

The Life and Times of Jimmy Hoffa Abstract In light of Martin Scorsese's popular movie "The Irishman," it is a good time to reassess Jimmy Hoffa. He's probably the most famous union leader in American history, but the only thing most people know of him is that he ran the Teamsters and was closely connected to the Mafia. He is often seen as nothing but a corrupt, evil, greedy sellout. The reality is a little different. In this article I discuss his record as a labor leader, the attacks on him by the McClellan Committee and Bobby Kennedy, and his ties to organized crime. I try to contextualize the Teamsters union of Hoffa's era, while at the same time providing a corrective to the public's overwhelmingly negative views of him.

    Searching for Markets: The Geography of Inequitable Access to Healthy & Affordable Food in the United States Finding and financing opportunities that others miss.™ The CDFI Fund invests in and builds the capacity of community-based, private, for-profit and non-profit financial institutions with a primary mission of community development in economically distressed communities. These institutions – certified by the CDFI Fund as community development financial institutions or CDFIs – are able to respond to gaps in local markets that traditional financial institutions are not adequately serving. CDFIs provide critically needed capital, credit and other financial products in addition to technical assistance to community residents and businesses, service providers, and developers working to meet community needs. For more information about the CDFI Fund and its programs, please visit the Fund’s website at: http://www.cdfifund.gov. About the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund’s Financing Healthy Food Options Track The CDFI Fund is providing training and technical assistance to CDFIs that are engaged in, or wish to become engaged in, healthy food financing activities. The CDFI Fund is offering a series of training workshops focused on the key elements of financing healthy food projects. There will be a total of eight training sessions held throughout the country in 2011 and 2012, with three different healthy food finance tracks offered: 1) farms and food production; 2) mid-tier food chain enterprises (e.g., food aggregation; food processing; food distribution); and 3) food retailers. At each session, trainers with practical experience and expertise will lead participants to drill down into the specific fundraising, underwriting, and loan management skills required for successful healthy food projects in low-income communities.
