凯萨查维斯组织农场工人
 
凯萨查维斯一生中的大部分时间都在加州的农场上工作,农场的薪资低且没有什么设备可供工人使用。他想要改善此一情况,所以1950年代时,他开始将农用工人组成一个工会,并向他们的雇主要求合理薪资及完善的工作环境。1962年时,查维斯及他的同事韦尔塔朵乐丝 (Dolores Huerta) 成立了全国农场工人协会 (NFWANational Farm Workers Association) 。


Cesar Chavez spent most of his life working on farms in California, where pay was low and comforts were few. He wanted to improve the situation, so in the 1950s, he started organizing agricultural workers into a labor union that would demand higher pay and better working conditions from their employers. In 1962, Chavez and fellow organizer Dolores Huerta founded the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA).
