Shouldn't you be crying to a union steward or somesuch? Is the state employees' union that much better than yours?

Nah...I have 30 floating holiday hours to take when I want...so I suppose I could have taken Caesar Chavez Day off...but goddamnit...I want it handed to me on a PLATTER! ;)

We have an AWESOME employees association, rather than a union...we have KILLER benefits...

Chavez is a hero jackass, why is okay for the Jew to bag on the Mexican, and not okay for the Jew to bag on Jews?
Oh thats right Chavez was the labor guy, my bad for some reason I got him mixed up with Juan Valdez, he was the coffee guy. Sorry if I offended anyone, by the way my wife is 1/2 Mexican. Then again I wasn't saying how to kill someone.

Errrr no he didn't pick Coffee for Foldgers..

.... Chavez left CSO to form his own organization, which he called the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA). The name was later changed to the United Farm Workers (UFW). In 1965, Chavez and the NFWA led a strike of California grape-pickers to demand higher wages. In addition to the strike, they encouraged all Americans to boycott table grapes as a show of support. The strike lasted five years and attracted national attention. When the U.S. Senate Subcommittee looked into the situation, Robert Kennedy gave Chavez his total support.

In 1968, Chavez began a fast to call attention to the migrant workers' cause. Although his dramatic act did little to solve the immediate problems, it increased public awareness of the problem. In the late 1960s, the Teamsters attempted to take power from the UFW. After many battles, an agreement was finally reached in 1977. It gave the UFW sole right to organize field workers.

In the early 1970s, the UFW organized strikes and boycotts to get higher wages from grape and lettuce growers. During the 1980s, Chavez led a boycott to protest the use of toxic pesticides on grapes. He again fasted to draw public attention. These strikes and boycotts generally ended with the signing of bargaining agreements.

Cesar Chavez died on April 23, 1993. :D

No...that would be Juan Valdez and his trusty donkey, you ASS...hahaha! anyway, he just hocked Columbian coffee in general...not necessarily any one particular brand...

He was first played by Jose Duval, but the role was taken over by Carlos Sanchez in 1969. Sanchez has played the part ever since. Even with the busy schedule that his fame requires, Sanchez still has time to manage his own small coffee farm and run an artistic silkscreening business. Sanchez has travelled all over the world as Juan, promoting Colombian coffee.

And there you have it...the story behind Juan Valdez...

Hey, no problem, I should have throw a smilie or something in. Just so you know, I think what Lord Of Pie said was over the top too, so it suprised me when you were so flippant about Chavez. My grandfather picked grapes for living after he got out of the Army, the man (Chavez) is pretty much revered as a saint in my family and a lot of Latino communities.

I can't believe people were able to abstain from table grapes for 5 friggin years! Would it count if you grew and picked your own grapes???
