Cesar Chavez's strike began in 1965 when the United Farm Workers (UFW) launched a labor strike against grape growers in California. The strike was initiated in response to poor working conditions, low wages, and lack of labor rights for farmworkers. Chavez aimed to raise awareness about the plight of these workers and sought to organize them to demand better treatment and fair pay. This pivotal event marked the beginning of a significant movement for labor rights in the agricultural sector.
