U.S. Farm Worker's Rights

On March 23, 2011 Governor Jerry Brown publicly
stated that he would reconsider the decision to register
methyl iodide in California. Governor Jerry Brown
needs to take decisive action NOW and pull this
cancer-causer off the market, also it will effect the
most to farmworkers and residents living near by
strawberry fields in California.
The United Farm Workers of America was founded in 1962 by Cesar Chavez. It is the the nation's first successful and largest farm workers union currently active in 10 states.

The U.S. Farm Worker's Rights are rights to protect farm workers with core values of:
- Integrity: Doing the right thing even when no one is looking
- Si Se Puede® Attitude: The embodiment of a personal and organizational spirit that promotes confidence, courage and risk taking
- Innovation: The active pursuit of new ideas
- Non-Violence: Engaging in disciplined action
- Empowerment: A fundamental belief in and respect for people

With the U.S. Farm Worker's Rights, it is mostly to assist successfully farm workers to fight for better wages, to improve better working condition, and to fight against harsh rules from employers.
