If he's good enough for the
UFW...
United Farm Workers President Arturo S. Rodriguez issued the following statement from the union's headquarters in Keene, Calif. near Bakersfield after the Cesar Chavez-founded UFW endorsed Sen. John F. Kerry for President...
We trust Senator Kerry because of his long history with us, from participating in the grape boycott during the mid-1970s to supporting the right of California strawberry workers to organize in the late 1990s.
Rodriguez will campaign with Kerry in Arizona on Monday. And though I'll be voting for Clark in my primary, I'll join the UFW in strongly supporting Kerry if he emerges as our nominee.
