United Farm Workers  

Definition(s)

  • The United Farm Workers (UFW) was the first union of agricultural workers in America; it was organized in a time of political strife and rising social consciousness. The union's historic rise in the agricultural fields of California was made in the context of the history of Mexican-Americans’ struggles for full participation in American society.
