Chavez Remembered!
Local 848’s Gerardo Contreras continues to work with the Labor
Council for Latin American Advancement (LCLAA) at every opportunity. He helped
with the Cesar Chavez parade in Fort Worth on March 27 and the commemoration in
Cesar Chavez Plaza inside the Farmers Market in Dallas on March 28.
One of the many important labor leaders that he has worked with is
the legendary Dolores Huerta, co-founder of the United Farm Workers of America.
Contreras has buttons and posters celebrating Cesar Chavez. He is pictured at
left below in the Dallas Farmers Market. Elaine Lantz, Jay Dunn, Joe Gomez, and
Gene Lantz are with him.
