A labor union for migrant farm workers

Real World Example

La Causa, also known as the United Farm Workers movement, was important because it brought attention to the poor working conditions and low wages faced by migrant farm workers in the United States. It highlighted the ongoing struggle for workers' rights and equality, issues that continue to be relevant today. The movement emphasized the power of collective action and nonviolent protest, inspiring future labor and civil rights movements. In today's world, the principles of fair treatment and equitable pay impact workers across various industries, from agriculture to technology. For example, when you buy groceries, the fair treatment of farm workers can affect the prices and quality of the food available to you.
