With the formation in 1967 of UFWOC (United Farm Workers Organizing Committee) Larry Itliong became Assistant Director to Cesar Chavez in the union that would eventually become the UFW. In January, 1970 he was appointed National Boycott Coordinator of the UFWOC. Itliong resigned from the Union on October 15, 1971. He devoted the rest of his life to improving the lives of retired Filipino farm workers, and to a wide variety of community and civic projects, many of which were Filipino related. The collection consists of a small amount of materials from the early days of farm worker organizing. The bulk of the collection is Mr. Itliong's records of his post-UFW endeavors. </p> https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/3040#comments Agricultural laborers Agriculture Filipino American Political Association Itlong, Larry, 1913-1977 Labor unions Migrant workers UFW Thu, 30 Oct 2008 15:31:37 -0400 drice 3040 at https://reuther.wayne.edu https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/560 <p>Men sit beneath a sign supporting the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee (UFWOC) Safeway Boycott during the Filipino American Political Association (FAPA) Convention, April, 1969.</p> https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/560#comments Filipino American Political Association UFW United Farm Workers Fri, 08 Aug 2008 10:19:01 -0400 eclemens 560 at https://reuther.wayne.edu
