Why we Boycott
- Synopsis
- Chronicles the struggle by migrant workers on grape farms in southern California for better pay and conditions. In particular, shows how the United Farm Workers Union, aided by white liberals and church groups, organised a boycott of the produce of companies that tried to break the strike by employing members of the Teamsters Union, a large trade union which had several times been fined for corrupt practices.
