yes he did. he was jailed for 20 days for not calling off the boycott of lettuce in 1970......"In December of 1970 Chávez was

jailed for refusing an order to stop boycotting Bud Antle lettuce. His jailing

created enormous media attention, reenergized the workers, and brought a

friendly and well-publicized visit by Ethel Kennedy, the widow of Robert

Kennedy.10 Eventually the union won a series of contracts with growers

and by 1971 had forged still another agreement with the Teamsters. Chávez

seemed to have achieved labor peace in the fields."
