Lettuce Boycott

By Donald Berk

The United Farm Workers' (UFW) six year boycott on non-UFW lettuce will probably end within the next two weeks and union leaders are in conference this week to determine the boycott's status.

Patricia E. Lecluse, a UFW organizer, said yesterday, "there is a general amnesty on the boycott which was called within the last week. What is happening now is that we're listing individual growers on an 'unfair' list, which means they haven't been cooperating with attempts to organize the lettuce workers."

Lettuce Agree

Since September, 1975, the UFW has won the bulk of the elections held to decide which union the workers want to represent them.

The UFW has been involved in a bitter competition with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters since 1970 over which union would organize the lettuce pickers.
