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.
