Boycott

 Farmworkers used several strategies and tactics to fight injustice. Workers organized strikes and refused to work in the grape fields. They also created picket lines and protested unfair labor conditions. Another important strategy was the national grape boycott. Consumers across the country were asked not to buy grapes until the growers agreed to negotiate with the union. This strategy helped bring national attention to the farmworkers’ struggle. The movement was also connected to other social justice struggles. It was linked to immigrant rights, racial justice, and labor rights. Women such as Dolores Huerta played a major leadership role in organizing workers and supporting the boycott (Ruiz & Korrol, 2005, pp. 248–249), as cited in Viveros, Espinoza-Kulick, and Fischer.
