Republican party gives a damn about him." - buyers told to boycott lettuce by Al Krisiunas The UConn Committee of the United Farm Workers (UConn CUFW) is starting a dorm-to-dorm campaign this fall to boycott non-union Iceberg Lettuce. Marta Insogna of the chapter here said small dorms with independent kitchens are first on the list; Beard B already voted to support the boycott. She said the use of non-union iceberg lettuce in dorms can be done away with by having students vote on it or by pressuring house stewards to terminate non-union Iceberg Lettuce orders. Insogna said a student lettuce boycott was "not a big sacrifice of students because there are substitutes like Chickory, Roumaine, or Boston Lettuce." To help the boycott succeed students should "not eat the lettuce, complain to the cook and get the steward to get in touch with the UConn CUFW," she said. The nationwide boycott of non-union Iceberg Lettuce, under Cesar Chavez, began in August 1970. Insogna said the boycott is an effort to pressure big farm owners and industrial corporations in California and Arizona "like Dow Chemical and Southern Pacific" into giving farmworkers collective bargaining rights. She said farm workers are forced to live and work under substandard conditions. The average pay of a farmworker is $2400, and his field-working expectancy is only 7 years, she added. A successful boycott would eventually give farmworkers better wages, working and living conditions as well as the enforcement of child labor laws and the removal of harmful pesticides, she said. Don't eat lettuce, says the UConn Committee of the United Farm Workers. They are boycotting lettuce so farmworkers will get better wages. (Campus photo by Noel Voroba) .. Tuesday.
