Today in Labor History March 31, 1927: Cesar Chavez was born. Famous for his role in leading the United Farm Workers and, now, even more infamous for his sexual assaults on women and girls in the movement, it should be pointed out that there were numerous other abusive and rotten aspects to his leadership style that affected both women and men. For example, in 1967, he launched his first of several purges of the UFW, ostensibly to remove Communists. However, there was no evidence of communist infiltration of the union and it was most likely a move to solidify his autocratic rule.

In the 1970s, he blamed “illegal immigrants” and “wetbacks” for UFW failures and launched the "Illegals Campaign" to identify illegal migrants so that they could be deported. His cousin Manuel Chavez established a UFW patrol, or "wet line," along Arizona's border with Mexico to stop illegal migration into the US. Actions such as these led to conflicts with many progressive groups that had previous collaborated with the UFW, including the National Lawyers Guild and the Confederation of Mexican Workers.

In 1977, Chavez became infatuated with the religious cult, Synanon and used Synanon’s “game” to punish union members and enforce conformity and obedience to his authority by subjecting members to harsh, profanity-laced criticism from the rest of the community.

He also expressed support for the brutal Filipino dictator Ferdinand Marcos, and specifically his declaration of martial law, which alienated Filipino members of the union, as well as many of the religious organizations that had supported the UFW. Ironically, Chavez had originally travelled to the Philippines in order to win back support of Filipino farmworkers. And, contrary to the official mainstream narrative, it wasn’t even Chavez who had started the UFW, or the Delano Grape Strike. Rather the 1965 grape strike had been initiated by Larry Itliong and the Filipino-led AWOC. The nationwide protest lasted five years and ended with the first union contract for U.S. farm workers outside of Hawaii.

Today: Rimane incastrata con il braccio tra le porte del tram e viene trascinata per 50 metri

Una donna di 30 anni è rimasta incastrata tra le porte di un tram a Milano ed è stata trascinata per circa 50 metri. La vittima, una turista filippina, ha riportato solo alcune contusioni, ma se non fosse intervenuta una pattuglia dei carabinieri le conseguenze sarebbero state ben più gravi. Cosa...

She remains trapped with her arm wedged between the doors of the tram and is dragged for 50 meters.

A 30-year-old woman was trapped between the doors of a tram in Milan and was dragged for about 50 meters. The victim, a Filipino tourist, sustained only some bruises, but if a patrol of Carabinieri hadn't intervened, the consequences would have been far more serious.

So, my @youronly.one.ofcl account was suspended because I logged-in to #Instagram side and added a verification code to an older selfie upload. Now I no longer have access to the large #Filipino #Threads community.

This is the second time already, the first was my original account `youronly.one` and no one from Instagram assisted even after I went through their Face Verification process thrice.

Anyone who can lend assistance to get my `youronly.one.ofcl` account reinstated and have it placed in some whitelist so their automation scripts are not hitting it with false positives? I rarely login to the Instagram side because I don't need it, the only reason I have it is because Threads originally required an Instagram account.

With the Day formerly known as Cesar Chavez Day just around the corner, and all the hand-wringing and virtue-signaling by public officials about how we must now delete the man from history, it seems an appropriate time to remind folks that farmworker organizing has a long and radical history that precedes both Chavez and the United Farm Workers (UFW), that unions and movements are far more than their leaders, and that what we think know about these leaders is often biased and corrupted through hagiography and movement propaganda.

Let’s start with the origin of the UFW, which many people mistakenly believe was the sole creation of Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta, and that it was a primarily a Mexican and Chicano union. In reality, the UFW was created in August, 1966, when Chavez’s National Farm Workers Association (NFWA) merged with the largely Filipino Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee (AWOC), led by Larry Itliong. The collaboration of these two unions grew out of the 5-year-long Delano Grape Strike which, again, people tend to associate with Chavez and the UFW, but which was actually started by Itliong and the AWOC.

Who Was Larry Itliong?

Modesto “Larry” Itliong was born in the Philippines in 1913, when it was a territory of the U.S., seized from Spain during the Spanish-American War. He immigrated to the U.S. mainland in 1929 at the age of 15, in the first large wave of Filipino immigration to the continental United States that occurred between 1906 and 1934. Itliong lived much of his life in the Little Manila community of Stockton, California. He had wanted to become a lawyer, but poverty and violent racism prevented him from pursuing the education required. At the time, Filipinos were barred from owning land in the U.S. and from marrying white women under the anti-miscegenation laws, and were regularly attacked by racist mobs.

Itliong began working in California’s Central Valley, where he joined his first strike in 1930, at the age of 16. Soon after, he began organizing his fellow workers. In 1956, he founded the Filipino Farm Labor Union, in Stockton. He spoke several Filipino languages, as well as Spanish, Cantonese, and Japanese, which was useful in organizing the muti-lingual, multi-cultural farmworkers. In addition to organizing in California, he also organized cannery and agricultural unions in Washington, Montana, South Dakota, and Alaska, where he lost three fingers in a cannery accident, earning him the nickname “Seven Fingers.”

On September 7, 1965 Itliong, who now had nearly 3 decades of labor organizing experience, traveled to Delano, California and convinced the grape workers at Filipino Hall to vote for a strike. The next day, the Delano Grape Strike began, with over 2,000 Filipino farm laborers walking off the job, demanding $1.40 an hour, 25 cents a box, and the right to form a union.

Itliong led the strike, along with Philip Cera Cruz, Benjamin Gines and Pete Velasco. Historically, the growers would pit workers of different nationalities against each other, and use Mexican workers, specifically, as scabs to break strikes by the militant Filipino workers. This time, however, Itliong contacted Cesar Chavez and asked him to get the Mexican workers to support the strike.

Initially, Chavez didn’t believe his members were ready to go on strike. But when he, and Dolores Huerta, brought the proposal to their 1,000 members, they voted unanimously to join AWOC on the picket line. The following year, AWOC and NFWA merged to form the UFW.

Itliong served as assistant director of the UFW under Chavez’s leadership. However, as the nascent union grew, with the charismatic and media-savvy Chavez leading press conferences, fasts and marches, its public face became overwhelmingly Chicano. Consequently, the Filipino workers who had started the strike, who had been organizing in the Central Valley since the 1930s, were increasingly marginalized within their union. Leadership often excluded them from decision-making, and their needs as an aging, largely male, immigrant workforce were not always prioritized. In 1971, Itliong resigned from the UFW over these issues and because of Chavez's autocratic leadership.

Some have argued that the ¡Sí Se Puede! slogan, the imagery of la causa (e.g., the UFW black eagle logo), the connection to the broader Chicano movement, all served to create a narrative that was far more tangible and palatable to the mainstream press, and the white public, than one that included Filipino workers, language and culture, a demographic that was much less well known to white Americans. This, no doubt, contributed to the erasure of Itliong and Filipino workers from the history of the farm labor movement. California K-12 textbooks failed to mention Itliong, or Filipino farmworkers until 2016, fifty years after the strike that began with Filipino workers, also contributing to their erasure from history.
