California Governor Pat Brown refused to meet with the marchers and instead spent the weekend in Palm Springs. \u201cWe are no longer interested in listening to the excuses the Governor has given in defense of the growers, to his apologies to them for not paying us decent wages, or why the growers cannot dignify the workers as individuals with the right to place the price on their own labor through collective bargaining,\u201d said Dolores Huerta<\/a>, vice president of the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA) and the principal speaker at the rally, according to the New York Times<\/em>. By then, the NFWA had signed a recognition agreement with Schenley Industries and was about to start its election campaign for the Di Giorgio elections. After the march of 1966, during the following months and years, the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee (UFWOC) kept securing numerous contracts from local growers, despite facing a strong counterattack from growers in collaboration with the Teamsters.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/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” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_slide image=”http:\/\/farmworkermovement-csun.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/17.41.JK_.N35.B7.01.03.07-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\/2441\/” link_option_url_new_window=”on” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_transition=”on”]<\/p>\n A group of spectators listens to the speakers at the California State Capitol.
