"It will be a couple of years before they can start having membership meetings, before we can use the farm workers' ideas in the union...I'm not sure how effective a union can be when it is composed of Mexican-Americans...as jobs become more attractive to whites, then we can build a union that can have a structure and that can negotiate with strength and have membership participation" (Los Angeles Times, April 28, 1973).
