December 4, 1970 - Cesar Chavez was sentenced to 20 days in jail for refusing to call off the United Farm Workers’ consumer boycott of Bud Antle, Inc., the country’s second largest lettuce grower. Antle had signed a contract with Teamsters Local 890 though only 5% of the workers voted to ratify it. Nor had there ever been an election for the workers to choose a union to represent them. The boycott had been called to pressure Antle to negotiate with the Farm Workers.
Today in Labor History August 23, 1970: The Salad Bowl strike began. Led by Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers (UFW), it was the largest farm worker strike in U.S. history. The strike cost the growers $500,000 per day. The strike was not only a battle between farm workers and the large, corporate growers. It was also a turf war between the UFW and the Teamsters, who had initially signed a contract with growers to represent the lettuce pickers. In late September 1970, the UFW launched a consumer boycott of all lettuce which had not been picked by members of the United Farm Workers. Violence was widespread. In November, someone bombed a UFW regional office. In December, federal marshals arrested and jailed Chavez. Two days later, former Olympic gold medal decathlete Rafer Johnson and Ethel Kennedy, widow of Robert Kennedy, visited him in jail. However, an anti-union mob attacked Kennedy and Johnson on the steps of the jail. Only the intervention of Salinas city cops and the Brown Berets prevent injury to the visitors and full-scale riot.
The turf war between the Teamsters and the UFW continued after the strike and grew increasingly violent. A UFW picketer was shot on August 3. And on August 9, five firebombs were thrown at UFW picket lines. Another two UFW members were shot on August 11, and a UFW picketer was shot to death on August 16, 1973. Chávez ultimately entered into talks with the Teamsters. On September 27, 1973, the Teamsters agreed to leave jurisdiction over farm field workers to the UFW.

Today in Labor History August 16, 1973: A 60-year-old United Farm Workers (UFW) member, Juan de la Cruz, was shot by a strike breaker during the UFW's a second grape boycott, in opposition to the Teamster’s sweetheart deals with the California growers. He died the next day. Another UFW striker, Nagi Daifallah, was killed two days before.

"#ICE agents detained over 200 people in militarized raids on two large farms in Carpinteria and Camarillo, including a number of #US citizen workers and protesters who gathered outside the facilities in response to the raids. As of Saturday morning, at least two of the abducted citizens were still reported missing by loved ones and colleagues.
“Many workers-including US citizens, were held by federal authorities at the farm for 8 hours or more,” the #UnitedFarmWorkers union said in a statement. “US citizen workers report only being released after they were forced to delete photos and videos of the raid from their phones.”"
