Begun in 1962 by Cesar Chavez, Dolores Huerta, Gilbert Padilla and others, the United Farm Workers of America is the nation’s first enduring and largest farm workers union. Many recent UFW-sponsored laws and regulations protect all farm workers in California, especially those at non-union ranches. The UFW continues to actively champion legislative and regulatory reforms for farm workers covering issues such as worker protections, pesticides and immigration reform.
