This affiliation was facilitated by William Kircher, director of organizing at the AFL- CIO, who after visiting the pilgrimage to Sacramento in April had transferred AWOC funds and headquarters to Delano, under the direction of Larry Itliong, and recognized NFWA’s claim to represent DiGiorgio workers pulling out AWOC from the ballot. Fearing to lose their autonomy, NFWA leaders were skeptical of the merger, but the need to preserve unity during the DiGiorgio election campaign persuaded them to affiliate. When UFWOC was officially chartered, C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez became director and Larry Itliong assistant director. Besides Ch\u00e1vez and Itliong, the UFWOC’s executive board included leaders from both NFWA and AWOC: Gilbert Padilla, Philip Vera Cruz, Dolores Huerta, Tony Orend\u00e1in, Andy Imutan, Julio Hern\u00e1ndez, Manuel V\u00e1squez, and DeWitt Tannehill. UFWOC won unprecedented autonomy from the AFL-CIO and as an organizing committee it was entitled to a monthly subsidy.<\/span>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_fullwidth_slider _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#D22030″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_slide image=”http:\/\/farmworkermovement-csun.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/17.41.JK_.N35.B9.10.01.22-scaled.jpg” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_font_size=”46px” background_color=”#D22030″ background_enable_color=”on” background_enable_image=”off” link_option_url=”https:\/\/cdm17169.contentdm.oclc.org\/digital\/collection\/FMC\/id\/2032\/” link_option_url_new_window=”on” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_transition=”on”]<\/p>\n
