My dear friend Cesar:
I was deeply moved and impressed during my recent
visit to Delano with the dedication to the struggle of the farm
workers for equity and justice and the principles of non-violence.
tinuing
As you know, the UAW is fully committed to consupport and solidarity behind your struggle and the
enclosed contribution of $50, 000 to assist in your building
program is made as a part of our pledge to support you and
the farm workers until victory is achieved.
I am also enclosing a check in the amount of $5, 000
which is a further contribution of the UAW for your strike
assistance program.
We will continue to send our monthly
contribution.
I fully understand the reasons for your fast and the
spirit which has moved you to take this action to demonstrate
your faith in the concept of non-violence.
I believe the response
to your action has demonstrated that your faith in non-violent
forms of struggle will prevail as a guiding principle of the farm
workers movement.
I honestly believe that your objective has been
accomplished and on behalf of my colleagues in the UAW we
fervently hope that you will end your fast and move on to the
next phase in the struggle to win justice for the farm workers,
not only in Delano but throughout the United States.
day to day leadership is needed to achieve victory.
Your
We pledge our full support to you in this struggle.
I send my warmest
best wishes.

Over 50 strikers left Delano

by growers who won't sign
contracts with the Union.

told
The basic tactic is to inform
and organize every Sympathetic group in the East to support
the farm workers' struggle,
Ross said. The main pressure
has been dir ecte d against
Victor Joseph and Son, vegetable and fruit brokers, who
sell Giumarra grapes to many
of the big Esatern chain stores.
The boycott also includes
all non-union grapes, since
Giumarra uses many
other
erowers' labels in aneffort to
defeat the boycott.
Members ofall major unions,
students,

The ''commuter'' system clearly violates the law, but will
governmentenforce the law? The growersof California and the
Southwest say they need the greencarder to do the stoopwork,
but they refuse to pay the wages and grant the conditions which
would allow usto work in dignity. The poor of Mexico pay $273
million a year into U.S. industry due to an unfavorable trade
.balance.
While industry is picking the Mexican pocket for the
millions, the Immigration Service allows some change to trickle
back to the poorest of the poor through the greencard system.
Everybody can then be satisfied. ..everybody but the U.S. farm
worker, who must compete against the desperately poor of

Please excuse my delay in personally acknowledging the UAW
donation of $50,000.00 for our new administration building, and
the $4,900.00 for our Union Educational Program.

sooner because | had to take some time to recover my strength
after the Fast and then we went throughout the State visiting
all of our membership with the view to registering more than
100,000 farm workers for the California primary before April
llth deadline.
The response of the membership tras been enthusiastic to say the least.
Today my brother, Richard, tells me that our building crew has
Finished pouring the floor for the new building.
That means
that next week the framing of the building should begin.
It is
hard to believe that a month ago where nothing existed, something
SO permanent and long lasting should begin springing up before
our very eyes.
For this we are very indebted to you.

be profoundly affected in the arduous years ahead by Dr. King's
last public act, viz., working for the right of the poor to have
a Union.
Because it is only when we build this kind of power,
can we really effect those changes necessary for our lives and
our families.
And this, it seems to me, over the past several
years has been precisely the role of the UAW in Delano; - trying
to help the poor build a Union, and whether we like it or not,
Delano has become such a symbol for farm workers.

Dear

Medina:
As per your request please find enclosed a copy of
the Resolutions Committee Report No. 2 which contains the
Farm Workers Resolution adopted by the UAW 21st Constitutional Convention.
The resolution to which you refer does not deal with
the question of Delano and Giumarra specifically, but rather
it deals with the broader question of the plight of the migrant
worker nationally.
You will note the resolution to which I refer appears
on pages 44 through 47.

Dear

We understand that the Auto Workers passed a resalution concerning
the strike and boycott of the United Farm Workers organizing Committee
against California grapes and Giumarra potatoes, at its recent
convention.
We would like very much to have a copy of this resalution
in order to show it to the Delano area growers and Giumarra's agent
here in Chicago.
Please send the copy to our Chicago office.
Thank
you ‘very much for the copy, and for passing the resolution.
