Summary note

On April 6, 1980, the Canadian Farmworkers Union came into existence. This film documents the conditions that provoked the formation of the union, and the response of growers and labor contractors to the threat of unionization. Made over a period of two years, the film is eloquent testimony to the progress of the workers' movement from the first stirrings of militancy to the energetic canvassing of union members.
