Eagle union can have lethal effects because of
Pesticide. And that non-UFW grapes and lettuce are
picked by some 800,000 underage children. The actual
total work force involved comes to some 200,000 --
mostly adults
This has reflected on all American citrus and
vegetable exports. Until recently Sweden used to take
some 80 per cent of the U.S. lettuce crop exports.
Reports from the American embassy in Stockholm disclose
that the agricultural attache there -- and American
shippers -- are considerably disturbed by what could
result in heavy losses to all American growers.
Now Chavez has set up shop in West Germany where
he has strong trade union support. The Federal Republic
buys large quantities of American farm products. And
U.S. shippers could get hurt there, too.
Teamsters officials talk of a counter-boycott of
“all Swedish products." Now they speak grimly of
counter-boycotting the heavy selling Volkswagen if
Germans boycott lettuce and grapes picked by their
members.
Total it all and you have slim little Cesar Chavez
