Additional Details

The Texas Farm Workers Union was formed in 1975 as a splinter group after conflicts with the California-based United Farm Workers. In February and March 1979, they marched from the Texas Panhandle town of Muleshoe to the state capitol in Austin, demanding collective bargaining rights and workman's compensation claims for farm workers. This poster features artwork of two farm workers by radical artist Carlos A. Cortéz. None traced at auction.
