After the grape boycott led by César Chávez in the 1960s and 1970s, many farmers ultimately received higher wages and better working conditions as a result of negotiations between labor unions and growers. The boycott aimed to raise awareness about the exploitation of farmworkers, and it successfully pressured grape growers to sign contracts that included wage increases. By the end of the boycott, some workers were earning significantly more than before, with wages rising to around $2.50 an hour or more, depending on the agreements reached. This marked a significant victory for the United Farm Workers and improved the livelihoods of many agricultural laborers.
