Cesar Chavez Impact On Society

Cesar Chavez was a Mexican-American who was born on March 31, 1927 as a child he spent most of his time working on a farm. Later he would become a strong union leader and labor organizer. He would also dedicate his life to improving pay and working conditions for many farm workers. As a former farm worker himself he knew too well the hardships and conditions that they faced daily. Later in his life he would lead a boycott that would result in guaranteeing farm workers the right to unionize.
With these factors in his life it would lead him to have a major impact on US History. Cesar Chavez had a set of values that helped him make choices some of these include his ability to work with others, equality, and the status of people.

He changed how many migrant workers worked by doing his best to help change the conditions of the work place and the pay they earned.
Chavez worked amazingly with others that” within three years, he had enrolled 1,700 families in the NFWA, enabling the association to negotiate pay raises from two local growers in Delano” .

While he is there he lets the people know how these migrant farm workers are being treated and what people are able to do to help.
His actions that he took changed US History by letting the people know what and how the migrant workers are treated. If he didn’t take action and accept the US Senate’s offer many workers would continue to have harsh workplaces.

It would also show that his intent was towards helping people, but he needed to get their attention first. This protest was the best possible way to get the attention and help the people at the same
