 Due to the overwhelming success of the UFW second grade boycott, the California legislature passed the first law in US history to protect farm workers right to organize and bargain collectively with growers. The Agricultural Labor Relations Act of 1975, which Mr. Chavez himself wrote parts of, gives farm workers in California the same rights that industrial workers in this country have enjoyed since 1935. Ladies and gentlemen, I will stop here to allow Mr. Chavez to update us on the UFW's recent history.
