Cesar Chavez led the United Farm Workers in a strike, boycott, and secondary boycott against grape growers. This was known as the Delano Grape Strike.
When farm workers initiated the Delano grape strike in 1965, to protest for higher wages, Chavez supported them. Six months later Chavez led a strike of California grape pickers. The United Farm Workers encouraged all Americans to boycott table grapes as a show of support. The strike lasted five years.

The Delano grape strike was a strike, boycott, and secondary boycott led by the United Farm Workers (UFW) against growers of table grapes in California. The strike began on September 8, 1965, and lasted more than five years. The strike was significant victory for the UFW, leading to a first contract with these growers.The strike began when the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee, mostly Filipino farm workers in Delano, California, led by Philip Vera Cruz, Larry Itliong, Benjamin Gines and Pete Velasco, walked off the farms of area table-grape growers, demanding wages equal to the federal minimum wage.[1][2][3] One week after the strike began, the predominantly Mexican-American National Farmworkers Association, led by Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta, joined the strike, and eventually the two groups merged, forming the United Farm Workers of America in August 1966.[3] Quickly, the strike spread to over 2,000 workers.Through its grassroots efforts-utilizing consumer boycotts, marches, community organizing and nonviolent resistance-the movement gained national attention for the plight of some of the nation's lowest-paid workers.[2][3] By 1970, the UFW had succeeded in reaching a collective bargaining agreement with the table-grape growers, affecting in excess of 10,000 farm workers.
