]]> Comment on About Michael Yates by Sergio M Perez http://blog.cheapmotelsandahotplate.org/about/comment-page-1/#comment-367 Sergio M Perez Tue, 09 Mar 2010 01:17:56 +0000 http://blog.cheapmotelsandahotplate.org/?page_id=2#comment-367 Mr. Yates, Regarding your review of Shaw's book on the UFW and Cesar Chavez. Did anything positive come out of the movement? Did it make a difference in the life of the farm workers? I for one had searched for Marshall Ganz to express my thanks for making a huge difference for this particular farm worker and my entire family. You are correct that much work needed to be done after 1974 and the UFW needed to re-structure into a more formal organization. Legislation under Jerry Brown gave the farm worker more rights and basic protections making the push for fundamental rights less of a battle cry for the organization. We can argue about the course that the UFW took in the 80's and 90's but to understand the legacy of the movement and the impact of Cesar Chavez we need to examine how the movement changed the outlook and aspirations of the farm workers and other people. In an era of ENRON and multi-billion dollar Ponzi schemes we need to look for better leadership. Regards, Mr. Yates,
