As an organizer for the UFW, Flores organized the poorest paid working people in the U.S., the farm workers.
She organized farm workers:
To change the way that public agencies served farm workers.
to force local county governments to provide for basic services such as streets, sewage, running water in their colonias where farm workers lived;
to demand better wages be paid by the growers;
to pass legislation that excluded farm workers from worker protections.
to educate customers at grocery stores about the dangers of pesticides being used on the food being sold, both for harvesters and for consumers.voir moins
