A 16-by-24-foot big banner by Chicano artist Carlos Almaraz hung behind a podium. The acrylic painting was in the style of Mexican muralist Diego Rivera with Teamsters ready to attack farmworkers protected by picket signs and the Virgin of Guadalupe. The convention sought to organize and renew the union's efforts against lettuce and grape growers, including setting up delegates to run against Teamster candidates in the upcoming elections. It also solidified the UFW as a full-fledged union with autonomy compared to just an organizing committee through a new charter from AFL-CIO. The union was hurting, having lost contracts to Teamsters and the lives of strikers Juan de la Cruz and Nagi Daifullah, which halted the strike. The new constitution vested large power in the president compared to the workers or their elected representatives.
