    Description

    Not only did the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee (UFWOC) fight growers unjust treatment, but they also went against the United States government. The UFWOC and the AFL-CIO fought for the United States Department of Defense DOD to stop purchasing grapes that contained DDT along with other harmful pesticides.
