Created by Cesar Chavez to get better conditions for Latino farmers?

• A. Cesar Chavez/ Delores Huerta
• B. G.I. Forum
• C. The Feminine Mystique
• D. United Farm Workers (UFW)

Answer: (D)

Organizing farm workers into a collective to demand better wages and conditions is what Chavez pursued. He and Dolores Huerta co-founded the United Farm Workers, a union that fought for improved labor standards through nonviolent strikes, boycotts, and negotiations. The grape strike of the 1960s brought widespread attention and helped secure contracts that improved wages and working conditions for many farmworkers. The other options reference a veterans’ rights group and a feminist book, which don’t match the creation of a union to help farm workers. So the United Farm Workers is the organization created to achieve these gains.
