Tomorrow you will see the growers and the Teamsters skipping hand in hand into the fields on their honeymoon." He called a strike that last week began spreading into Arizona and other areas of California, where Teamster organizers have also been at work. Violence has erupted as Chavez's migrants face burly Teamster "protectors" of workers who cross the picket lines. The $750,000 packing shed...
