Roger and Rudy join Frank Bardacke, author of/Trampling out the Vintage:
Cesar Chavez and the Two Souls of the United Farm Workers/
<https://www.versobooks.com/books/1202-trampling-out-the-vintage>for a
discussion on the UFW, its history, its tactics, its structure and its
slow loss of relevance. We focus on the boycott as a tactic: how the UFW
pioneered the use of boycotts, how winning the 1965-70 Delano grape
campaign through a boycott shifted the power in the union from workers
to staffers, and how both tactics, and what they represented in the
union, would come into conflict in the 1979 Salinas Lettuce struggle. We
also talk about Cesar Chavez the man, the UFW’s changing relationship to
undocumented migrants, present-day farm organizing and what lessons we
can draw from the UFW for today, in particular on the use of boycotts
and on union democracy.
