The United Farm Workers of America, or more commonly known as the United Farm Workers (UFW), is an organization for agricultural workers in the United States. It originated from the merger of two workers' rights organizations, the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee (AWOC) led by organizer Larry Itliong and the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA) led by César Chávez and Dolores Huerta. They allied and transformed workers' rights organizations into a union as a result of a series of strikes.
