\npublic universities. At a press conference on January 10, Reagan argued that a tuition charge, among other reasons, would help \u201cget rid of undesirables. Those there to agitate and not to study might think twice before they pay tuition.\u201d In an unscheduled appearance at the podium, C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez was cheered loudly when he said that tuition is designed to \u201ckeep the poor and minorities in their place,\u201d the Los Angeles Times reported. During his two terms as governor since 1967, Reagan strongly opposed organized labor and resisted farmworkers’ attempt to secure union contracts. He vetoed the Agricultural Labor Relations Act, denying farmworkers collective bargaining rights, rejected unemployment insurance, and disregarded farmworkers’ demands by appearing on TV to eat grapes during a union-sponsored boycott. Reagan also aimed to suppress activism at the University of California, Berkeley, deploying National Guard troops in 1969. <\/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_fullwidth_slider _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_slide image=”http:\/\/farmworkermovement-csun.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/96.01.EC_.N35.B1.11.110.16.jpeg” _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:\/\/digital-collections.csun.edu\/digital\/collection\/FMC\/id\/1337\/” link_option_url_new_window=”on” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_transition=”on”]<\/p>\nGovernor Reagan speaking to demonstrators, Sacramento, 1967<\/h6>\n
