On this day in 1965, the Delano Grape Strike began—a five year labor strike that eventually led to the formation of the United Farm Workers (UFW). The win in 1970 was a formative lesson for farmworkers and laborers throughout the state: that through collective solidarity, and through disciplined action, anything would be possible. | The California Endowment

From a viewer - this was a scene in Delano 😬 | RD on the Scene

Calls to 9-1-1 were made just after 2 PM today for smoke and flames coming from a trailer on West Delano Street near Oracle/Miracle Mile. Crews arrived to find a fully involved trailer. No one was in the trailer but three persons had evacuated from it, with one having to be helped from it by neighbors/those on scene before fire crews arrived. They were transported to the hospital as a precaution. Fire was under control twelve minutes after TFD FFs arrived. Cause/origin is under investigation. No

The National Farm Workers Association votes to join the strike against the Delano California grape growers, starting a 5-year strike. How did this strike change labor relations forever? Listen to #HISTORYThisWeek https://apple.co/3bX7Y7H | HISTORY
