Cesar Chavez allegations prompt UFW to skip Cesar Chavez Day events
March 18, 2026 // The United Farm Workers union on Tuesday acknowledged allegations against co-founder Chavez, calling reports involving possible abuse of young women or minors "crushing." "Some of the reports are family issues, and not our story to tell or our place to comment on. Far more troubling are allegations involving abuse of young women or minors. Allegations that very young women or girls may have been victimized are crushing," the union stated. In response to the allegations, the UFW noted that it would not be taking part in any of the upcoming Cesar Chavez Day activities.
