In 1971, UFW volunteers enlisted 75% of Minute Maid&#8217;s Florida workers, a company owned by Coca-Cola. Following an election, the UFW became the union for Coca-Cola Minute Maid workers, leading to a groundbreaking three-year agreement in 1972. Despite modest resources, Manuel Ch\u00e1vez and Jerry Cohen negotiated a historic contract between Black, Mexican American, and white farm workers and the state&#8217;s largest citrus producer, marking Florida&#8217;s first citrus worker contract. The agreement held historical relevance not only for the UFW but also for the U.S. South. Earlier efforts by citrus workers affiliated under the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) in the 1930s and 1940s had only led to minor pay improvements and, in some cases, to Ku Klux Klan backlash.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; link_option_url=&#8221;https:\/\/digital-collections.csun.edu\/digital\/collection\/FMC\/id\/4120&#8243; link_option_url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][et_pb_fullwidth_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/farmworkermovement-csun.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/17.41.JK_.N35.B9.04.02.04.png&#8221; alt=&#8221;UFW organizers Mack Lyons and Walter Williams attend a meeting at the union field office in Avon Park, Florida, 1972.

In 1973, recognizing the significance of hiring halls for farm worker empowerment, growers lobbied for a &#8220;right to work&#8221; bill to revive the crew leader system. UFW organizers went to Tallahassee to oppose the bill. During a hearing, farm workers like Theodore Johnson testified before the Sub-committee, recounting their captivity under their crew leaders. Ultimately, the bill was defeated. In 1975, renewing the Coca-Cola contract met obstacles, strikes were impractical due to replacement workers and limited funds, and boycott threats had lost credibility, leading the UFW to organize smaller protests, fasts, and sit-ins.

It was housed in two trailers and located at the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA) strike headquarters at Arroyo Camp, on Mettler Road. In 1967, when the National Farm Worker Service Center (NFWCS) purchased a 40-acres parcel on Garces Highway and the Arroyo Camp was shut down, the two trailers were relocated at Forty Acres, the new union\u2019s headquarters (by then called the United Farm Worker Organizing Committee, UFWOC). In 1970 Richard Ch\u00e1vez, C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez\u2019s brother, started directing the construction works for a permanent structure. Built by a group of volunteers and finished with brick walls and a mission-style roof, the clinic was named in memory of Roger Terronez, a leader of the NFWA killed in a car accident in 1968. The Roger Terronez clinic opened in later 1971.<\/span><\/p><p>[\/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_fullwidth_slider _builder_version=\"4.21.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" background_color=\"#D22030\" hover_enabled=\"0\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"][et_pb_slide image=\"http:\/\/farmworkermovement-csun.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/17.41.JK_.N35.B9.10.06.33.png\" _builder_version=\"4.21.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" hover_enabled=\"0\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" sticky_transition=\"on\" alt=\"Young boy attending services ending C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez's fast, Delano, 1968\" title_text=\"17.41.JK.N35.B9.10.06.33\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"][\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide image=\"http:\/\/farmworkermovement-csun.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/17.41.JK_.N35.B9.10.06.34-1.png\" _builder_version=\"4.21.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" hover_enabled=\"0\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" sticky_transition=\"on\" alt=\"<br \/>Two women posing for a photograph during services ending C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez's fast, Delano, 1968\" title_text=\"17.41.JK.N35.B9.10.06.34\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"]<\/p><h6>Two women posing for a photograph during services ending C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez's fast, Delano, 1968<\/h6><p>Two women hold religious iconography of Jesus Christ and Saint Francis of Assisi standing in front of Reuther Hall at Forty Acres where an outdoor mass was about to celebrate C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez's ending his 25-day Fast.<\/p><p>[\/et_pb_slide][\/et_pb_fullwidth_slider][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=\"1\" _builder_version=\"4.21.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" background_color=\"#D8D2C4\" min_height=\"530px\" global_module=\"70\" saved_tabs=\"all\" locked=\"off\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_row column_structure=\"1_4,1_4,1_4,1_4\" _builder_version=\"4.21.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"1_4\" _builder_version=\"4.21.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_image src=\"http:\/\/farmworkermovement-csun.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/footer_logos.png\" title_text=\"footer_logos\" url=\"https:\/\/www.csun.edu\/bradley-center\" url_new_window=\"on\" align=\"center\" _builder_version=\"4.21.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=\"http:\/\/farmworkermovement-csun.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/NEH-Preferred-Seal.png\" alt=\"NEH-Preferred-Seal-logo\" title_text=\"NEH-Preferred-Seal\" _builder_version=\"4.21.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"1_4\" _builder_version=\"4.21.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.21.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<\/p><p><span class=\"fn org\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Tom &amp;
