Best Answer

The working conditions for the farm workers was awful and cruel. They weren't given breaks, paid low wages, no restrooms, no water for them on the hot summer days that they worked in, shortened hoes that meant they had to stoop over instead of standing straight, and living conditions were terrible. They needed representation and help so the UFW was begun to force change.
