Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the César Chávez article, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

BTW, if you are interested in the UFW and organized labour in general, have a look at WP:UNION. Cheers, --Bookandcoffee 00:47, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

César Chávez

Hi Ufw, I'm a little confused as to your additions at César Chávez - some of them seem to be more about the UFW than about the man. Is there a reason they should be on the Chávez page instead of the union page? Cheers.--Bookandcoffee 21:36, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

The Wiclopedia article is not correct. Was trying to point out that Cesar was against strikebreakers--he was not against illegal immigrants (or undoccumented workers, the term I prefer to use). The Cesar Chavez page made it seem like Cesar was against undoccumented workers and thus immigration reform. This just is not true. Cesar and many farm workers were aginst people breaking the strike. Many of the farm workers who objected to the strikebreakers were also undoccumented--a fact I pointed out in the text which you deleted. Cesar and his UFW have been committed to immigration reform for more than 40 years and the wikipedia article makes it seem that Cesar was against undoccumented workers.

No problem Ufw, I'm all for improving the article, it's just this:

The UFW was one of the first labor unions to oppose employee sanctions--a federal law that made it illegal to hire undoccumented workers back in 1973. The UFW's Dolores Huerta played a pivitol role in creating the 1986 amnesty law. The UFW has spent years negotiating the current bipartisan AgJobs bill that will allow workers to earn the right to continue to work in the US. This bill is currently in congress.

that you added to the article seems to be talking about the UFW, not Chávez.

As for deleting your previous work - it was taken directly from the UFW website, and copyright material is just not allowed here. I'm not trying to discourage you, it's great that you're getting involved, and I hope to see you around. Cheers.--Bookandcoffee 17:33, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
