The United Farm Workers (UFW) gained the ability to negotiate with growers primarily through grassroots organizing and advocacy for farmworkers' rights. Founded in the 1960s by leaders like César Chávez and Dolores Huerta, the UFW mobilized workers to strike and boycott, drawing public attention to their plight and building widespread support. In 1975, the California Agricultural Labor Relations Act was enacted, providing legal protections for farmworkers to organize and collectively bargain, thus enabling the UFW to negotiate with growers on behalf of laborers. This landmark legislation marked a significant victory in the labor movement for agricultural workers.
