UFW sympathizers set boycott
Bv DAVE HAURER
a boycott of Dillon's stores to force recognition of the problems of California farm workers was scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. Saturday by the Friends of the United Farm Workers (FUFW) at a meeting last night.
The meeting in the Pine Room of the Kansas University Unified by 19 persons, including 2 UFW members.
James Lumsden, Kansas City area FUFW director of boycotts efforts against nonunion grapes, head lettuce and Gallo wine, said that recent actions of California growers preventing FUFW elections dicussed the threat to growers only way the growers in California would respond to the UFW's demands would be through a boycott.
"The only thing we want to do is to translate heat very quickly back to the growers." Lumsen said. "Realistically, we want to knock the hell out of them."
IT WAS DECIDED at the meeting that Dillon's stores would be the focus of the
group's boycott because they were popular shopping places for Lawrence residents and students. Some group members had reservations about picketing the stores because of Dillon's responsiveness to shopper needs.
The group decided to advertise its boycott with flyers, a table in the Kansas Union and a 15-minute film on the plight of farm workers to be shown from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday in the Council Room of the Union.
The problems of the UFW and its battles with Teamsters and California growers date back to 161, when Cesar Chavez, UFW leader, began fighting for the right of the UFW to represent farm workers, Lumsden said.
RECENTLY, Lumsden said, funds for the California Agricultural Labor Relations Board, which oversees fair labor acts, ran out, and pressure brought by growers on legislators caused the board to be disbanded because that workers can't have elections, he said.
was for a successful boycott that would force the growers into calling for legislation to allow elections for a farm workers' union. Mr. Nixon said, the labor relations board folded.
The hope of the FUFW, Lumsden said.
Mike Fry, Wichita senior, said that he had become interested in the cause of the farm workers while he had been doing a field project for his social welfare class. He said that he had asked Linda to be to the show and discuss action that could be taken.
"AGRICULTURE is the last stronghold of not accepting workers' rights to bargain," Lumsen said. "The growers have decided they're out to screw us again. We here in Lawrence have to build up an effect boycott to put pressure on the growers in
Lumsden said that he and four other FUFW staff members are concentrating boycotts on the Kansas City and metropolitan areas including Lawrence
because most of the food stores were in those areas.
Edward Dutton, associate professor of social welfare, said that he had spent last year helping farmers to market their family farmers and helping them to make their farms economically sound. He said he was concerned about the growing tendency of agriculture to state into large agribusiness corporations.
THREE YEARS AGO, Dutton said, a different FUW group buy codified Sawafee supermarkets as here as part of a national safety to sell only lettuce. Safewae to sell only union lettuce, he said.
Dillon's will be notified of the FUFW's proposed action, the group decided. Lumsden said that once a store decided to sell only union lettuce, the store could deal with markets that would provide the store with lettuce it needed.
FUFW said that it would seek the support of MECUA, a campus Chicano organization to help him.
