A Huelgusta (striker) against Fall River Canning Company
with Obreros Unidos (United Workers), standing with a crowd. Pinned on her
jacket is a United Farmerworkers (UFW) button with its eagle symbol and the
message, "Viva la Causa" (Long Live the Cause)/Solidarity
Forever." On her beret are two buttons, with the same button on the right
and a button with a clenched fist on the left. Grape boycotts in Wisconsin were
organized by the local farm-worker labor union, Obreros Unidos, an independent
farm worker labor union effort in the 1960s.
Jorge Vasquez (wearing beret) discusses strategy with Fall River Canning Company workers after walkout. Children, youth and adults stand clustered in a circle around Vasquez in a gravel parking lot.
