What tactic did the United Farm Workers (UFW) use in the fight for higher wages and improved working condition

Question

answers:
1. They established their own "police" force.
2. They organized consumer boycotts.
3. They staged standoffs with the federal government.
4. They destroyed crops.

Answer 1

#2. Boycotted grape growers in California. Could also be #4 because Cesar Chavez did use violence and sabatoge.

Answer 2

Cesar Chavez devised a very successful way of making his cause known. He could never afford to reach the people through the media. So he enlisted volunteers who stood near freeway entrances in California, holding signs.

His UFW thus came into being, and showed staying power. Unlike other labor organizers such as the Teamsters who tried to steal the farmworkers' cause from the UFW, Chavez refused to embrace goon squads or violence. In the long run, it paid off. The followers of Cesar Chavez knew they would have to endure suffering, but they saw it as a just cause and worth paying the heavy price it involved.

America is better today because of what Cesar Chavez did. Farmworkers are no longer peons. Our produce is not more expensive than it would have been if it were still harvested by terrified illiterate subjugated almost-slaves. Workers who are proud and healthy and decently paid are more productive. Herny Ford realized this fact long ago, but the agricultural industry had to be jolted in realization of that fact.

Further, it is thanks to the UFW that America woke up to the risks to the consumer of pesticides sprayed on the fields. The goal of the UFW was to protect the health of the farlmworkers, but we are all better off today thanks to their active expression of concern. Next time you eat a strawberry, pause to thank Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers.
