The UFW is best known for its successful boycott of California grapes that led to unprecedented gains for farmworkers. Under new leadership the UFW has since taken steps to rebuild and find its place in a world far different than when the organization burst onto the scene in the 1960s as La Causa and attracted a host of celebrity supporters. Founded by charismatic leader, Cesar Chavez, UFW reached the peak of its influence in the 1970s, then declined until his death in 1993. United Farm Workers of America (UFW) is a union for agricultural laborers, primarily in California.
