The pilgrims attended mass in the morning in Manteca’s South City Park and then embarked on a walk that started with several hundred participants and grew to several thousand people upon reaching Stockton. As the marchers rested in St. Mary’s Square, C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez<\/a> received a call from Sidney Korchak, a Los Angeles labor negotiator representing Schenley, a major liquor distributor with property in Delano. He wanted to schedule a meeting to discuss union recognition and negotiate a contract.<\/span><\/p>\n After discussing with the other marchers, Ch\u00e1vez and Chris Hartmire<\/a> left Stockton driving to Beverly Hills. In the following days, the NFWA negotiated an agreement with Schenley Industries, securing union recognition. The contract, negotiated by Dolores Huerta<\/a> and signed on June 21, 1966, became the first union contract in California farm labor history. It provided a new minimum of $1,75 wage but most importantly union recognition and the creation of a union hiring hall that would eliminate labor contractors. At that time, California\u2019s $ 3.7 billion agricultural industry employed some 500,000 workers, and the average income of seasonal farm workers was estimated at $2,500.
