Artifact Overview

The United Farm Workers Organizing Committee (UFWOC) was formed when two migrant labor organizations merged during the 1966 Delano grape pickers strike. During the strike -- Huelga means "strike" -- and subsequent boycott, UFWOC received vital material and financial support from the larger national labor union (AFL-CIO) and several civil rights and religious organizations, activists, and politicians.
