2. The Roles

The Factory Worker

3. The Boss
You are a boss at a factory. You worked hard at growing your business and want the best for your family. You give to charity and belive your workers are paid well. If they don’t like the factory, they can always quit. Union leaders are just trying to start an issue when there is none. People should have the freedom to work where they want to work and pay workers what they think they should.

4. The Union Leader
You used to work in factory, but realized that there must be another way. You want workers to be respected and protected. You know that a union is the only way to fight bosses who exploit workers.

5. Factory Worker
You used to work in your home making dresses but you couldn’t survive. You and your family move to the city to look for work. You find a job in a textile factory. You work 80 hours week for little pay. One of your child has died in the factory. You are missing finger.

10. Pro Union Speech
WE SHALL OVERCOME Cesar Chavez El Malcriado. September 16 of 1965
Cesar Chavez and farmworkers meet in Delano to plan the grape strike.  In a 400 square mile area halfway between Selma and Weedpatch, California, a general strike of farm workers has been going on for six weeks. The Filipinos, under AWOC AFL-CIO began the strike for a $1.40 per hour guarantee and a union contract. They were joined by the independent Farm Workers Association which as a membership of several thousand Mexican-Americans.  Filipino, Mexican-American and Puerto Rican workers have been manning picket lines daily for 41 days in a totally non-violent manner. Ranchers in the area, which include DiGiorgio Fruit, Schenley, and many independent growers, did not take the strike seriously at first. By the second or third week, however, they began taking another look-- and striking back. Mechanized agriculture began picketing the pickets -- spraying them with sulfur, running tractors by them to create dust storms, building barricades of farm machinery so that scabs could not see the pickets. These actions not only increased the determination of the strikers, but convinced some of the scabs that the ranchers were, in fact, less than human. Scabs quit work and the strike grew.  The growers hired security guards for $43 a day. They began driving their Thunderbirds, equipped with policy dogs and rifles, up and down the roads. The people made more picket signs, drew in their belts, and kept marching.  Production was down 30% and the growers began looking for more and more scabs. They went to Fresno and Bakersfield and Los Angeles to find them. They didn't tell the workers that they would be scab crews. The pickets followed them into every town and formed ad hoc strike committees to prevent scabbing. They succeeded in these towns. Within two weeks, only one bus, with half a dozen winos, escorted by a pearl gray Cadillac, drove into the strike zone. A new plan was formed. The ranchers would advertise in South Texas and old Mexico. They bring these workers in buses and the workers are held in debt to the rancher before they even arrive in town. We have a new and more difficult task ahead of us with these scabs.  As our strike has grown, workers have matured and now know why and how to fight for their rights. As the strike has grown into a movement for justice by the lowest paid workers in America, friends of farm workers have begun to rally in support of LA CAUSA. Civil rights, church, student and union groups help with food and money.  We believe that this is the beginning of a significant drive to achieve equal rights for agricultural workers. In order to enlist your full support and to explain our work to you, I would like to bring some of our pickets and meet with you.  VIVA LA CAUSA Y VIVA LA HUELGA  Cesar Estrada Chavez General Director,
