Is the United Farm Workers asking people to boycott strawberries?
No. There is no boycott. The only people talking about a boycott are people in the strawberry industry. They’re using the threat of a boycott to scare workers away from the union. What the workers and the union are talking about is improving jobs and the industry by ending the abuses these workers face.
