Cesar Chavez once said. Our workers are not filthy beast to be feared. They are not lesser than anyone of us, nor are they better. They are human. They are American. They are to be treated with dignity. In California during the 19 sixties, Cesar Chavez took a stand for migrant farm workers rights and fought against low wages, pesticide poisoning and poor living conditions. In 1950 male farm workers were paid $1.10 an hour, while women were paid even less, Helen Chavez recalls, when the grape harvest was pretty heavy. Sometimes I'd work 10 hours a day, five days a week for 85 cents an hour. Oftentimes, families were forced to bring their Children to work so the family could survive. In addition to low wages, workers suffered in humane working conditions. John Gregory Dunne, the author of Delano. The Story of the Grape Strike, said the workers hunched over the vines like ducks. There was no air, making the intense heat all but unbearable. Nats and bugs swarm out from under the leaves. Some workers wear face masks, others handkerchiefs, not it around their heads to catch the sweat
