Recently the UFW marched across California and held a vigil in Sacramento for 30 days to advocate for the signing of a pro-farm labor bill AB2183, leading to CA governor Gavin Newsom signing the bill. https://www.kcra.com/article/newsom-signs-california-ab-2183-farmworkers-union-rights/41433217 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.185.183.46 (talk) 22:33, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This entire section needs rewritten. It's a bizzare mishmash of random, contextless sentences, interspersed with timeline. Worst of all, at no point does the section give the reader a sense of how the UFW has effected labor relations in the United States.
I think the thing I hate the most about this section is the fact that it starts with "the union then." What? There can't be a "then" without something coming first. Quality Grade B? Not a chance. Try D.14:12, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
This article is incredibly historically accurate and detailed. My compliments to the chef.
I have two questions and the answers may help me form an opinion about this extraordinary immigration of Mexican Nationals. Has the abundance of cheap immigrant labor hurt the accomplishments and further progress of the United Farmworkers Union. Has the UFW lost members?
Didn't there used to be a section about the various criticisms of the UFW? The Los Angeles Times, for one, has been highly critical of the union. See, e.g., http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-ufw8jan08,0,6153581,print.story — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.83.233.82 (talk) 05:39, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
in the chart at United_Farm_Workers#1970s, the figure is at 27,000 in 2000, but plummets to around 5000 for the next 10 years. This is obviously inconsistent. This 2002 LA Times article says:
From 1995 to 1999, the UFW claimed membership of 26,000 on reports filed annually with the U.S. Department of Labor. The union upped that figure to 27,000 in 2000. But last month, in response to an inquiry by the Labor Department, the union revised its membership to 5,945, according to the amended report.
... union officials say the lower number represents only those laborers working under UFW contract at the end of the year, and not the total number of members who work under contract on a seasonal basis at least one day during the year.
Therefore, I think the first figure should be removed as it is counted with a different method than the rest and is misleading without further explanation. --Kovl (talk) (Please ping me when replying) 07:25, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
But anyway, I would prefer not simply removing a year from the graph, and either explaining it somehow, or finding better data for that year. But if that seems unlikely to get anywhere, I'd be happy to comment out that year from the membership graph (keeping it aligned with the finances one below it for comparison). Should be an easy change, and the raw data would still be there, just hidden, with an explanation to editors but not readers. djr13 (talk) 09:24, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The "UFW Flag" linked is not the historical UFW flag, it's a Norteños-affiliated variant. Historically, the UFW huelga bird has 10 feathers, but the Norteños gang uses a modified huelga bird with 14 feathers, since they are affiliated with the number 14. The flag in this article has 14 feathers, and the filename for the the image is even "Nortenos.jpg", (strangely enough, it's not linked in the Norteños article). It's a huge oversight to represent a gang flag as the actual UFW flag. There are better flags floating around, particularly this flag, but I don't know enough about wikipedia to fix this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.111.208.87 (talk) 03:28, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:United Farm Workers/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.
There's no way this article is a grade B. There are no inline citations, the "Role" section is completely meaningless and poorly written. There's a mishmash of timeline and prose. This is a D, if for no other reason that it's too big to be a stub. 67.169.145.35 (talk) 14:14, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply] |

The current graph showing the union's membership is quite poor, as it includes only the years of the 21sts century, when UFW membership has ranged from 5000 to 10,000. But fifty years ago, its membership was in the neighborhood of 80,000 members. Better graph needed; this is almost deceptive. Unschool 22:56, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article on UFW would benefit greatly from some summary of the UFW's victories of the early 1970s, signing first labor contracts in farm worker history in California. I don't have the expertise on that, I'm afraid. RlwoodIACS (talk) 17:24, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
