A UFW organizer talks to a crew of broccoli cutters, eating lunch in the rows they just harvested. The union won provisions in the state labor law permitting union organizers to go into the growers' fields to talk to workers, so long as they clearly identify themselves. He therefore is carrying the black-eagle union flag, ostensibly to identify himself, but in reality to show workers that he has no fear of supporting the union, and that they can too.
