CH ST 1A Chapter Notes - Chapter 1: Farmworker
Document Summary
You do not have to write an essay, bullet points will be fine. What key terms does the article use: huelga (strike, union, picket line, ufwoc. This first part of the book, part i the grape strike, is about the creation of cesar. Cesar chavez, eliseo, chris, jerry cohen, and many others, help organize strikes ad boycotts of grape growers and supermarkets, eliseo focusing on chicago supermarkets. The growers and sellers are reluctant to make reforms but eventually give in. As a result, the union is recognized and contracts are awarded. I was aware that cesar chavez was a leader in the farmworker movement, but that is about it. I now know that many other members also played significant roles and that not only mexicans were striking, filipinos were too, in fact, filipinos were the ones who began the strike. This reading connects with the theme of the harsh life of pickers.
