The workers who worked the grape vines were treated badly by the growers. They were made to work long hours without breaks and little pay, no restrooms were provided for them, they were given shorten hoes and tools ( this meant they were bending over all day), and were around sprays without protection. They were treated like slaves by the growers. When talks broke down between the UFW and the growers the boycott was called.

∙ 15y agoThe growers treated the farm workers like slaves. They didn't allow them to take breaks, the their pay was bad, they had to work with shorten hoes and other equipment that hurt them, no restrooms or water were provided and the farmers wouldn't move on improving working conditions so the grape strike was called. I didn't eat grapes for 30 years to support the workers.
