Just in Time for Cesar Chavez Day (March 31)

In case you were wondering if there are any hard feelings remaining between big agribusiness in California and the United Farm Workers, here is an article from "The Packer" (an e newsletter I get because I am a produce manager, but which doesn't really apply to my job) which describes Cesar Chavez, famous pacifist, UFW's founder and long time leader, and winner of the Presidential Medal of Freedom as an "obsessive autocrat" and the UFW as a "bit player" in labor relations. *snort*
