UFW launches
grape boycott

Canadian Labor Congress director
of organization Len Ruel (I), and
Canadian Farmworkers Union sec-
retary-treasurer Sarwan Boal join
United Farmworkers president Cesar
Chavez at press conference in Van-
couver Sept. 23 called to launch the
new. California grape boycott in
Canada. Prompted. by growers’
action in cancelling UFW union
agreements and by widespread use
of pesticides which pose a danger to
both farmworkers and consumers,
the boycott was initiated in the U.S.
last year. Chavez will be taking the
message to Canadians this month
and next with a speaking tour across
the country. It will also merge with a
continuing campaign by the Cana-
dian Farmworkers Union in this pro- |
vince for long-sought farm safety
regulations to control, among other
things, the unregulated use of pesti-
cides. (Story page 12.)
