As stated in the Webster's Dictionary, a migratory worker is a person who leaves his home temporarily to do work for wages in another country or state. Throughout the United States, many different environments require certain kinds of workers. Supplementary Farm Worker

As stated by Rodriguez, migrant workers are people who move from location to location. Some work within a certain state while some others work alongside their crews as they travel from one state to another (165). However, migrant workers follow certain patterns as to the direction they move from. Usually the workers move northward from the South, picking the ripe crops for harvest along the way moving to other fields and then work. This may vary due to adverse weather changes and seasons, but for the most part, it is the same (Heaps 170). Three streams exist within the United States: the Atlantic Coast Steam, the Central Stream, and the Pacific Coast Stream.

As stated in Rodriguez's book, the NFWA realized that they would have to enter a formal alliance with the AFL-CIO in order to gain support for the decisive contest with the Teamsters, or people who represent workers in transport and other industries. For this reason alone, Chavez agreed to the merger between NFWA and AWOC. The new union was to be known as the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee (UFWOC) (75) .Further progression is shown by Young, after the UFWOC gains some initial victories against the growers of wine grapes. These victories were allowing them to turn to the table grape growers such as the Joesph Guimarra Vineyards, the largest table grape growers in the nation. After Chavez's picketing outside the vineyards proved ineffective, Chavez devised a new tactic. He begun to send his union members off the picketing lines and across the nation, getting the attention of the general public through a boycott of stores that were selling grapes (11) . Chavez was a preacher of

The life of a migrant worker is not a life that involves nice cars or large houses, but rather a life that includes traveling from one location to another in order to make ends meet. To be a migrant worker is to perpetually search for work; to search for another job that will help feed the family one more day, one more week (Rodriguez 26) . As Rodriguez says, this is a life of movement. Because of constant movement and low pay, children have to help. With the children, helping there will be times when they will not be able to attend school, and this process continues throughout their childhood. Besides the fact that these children miss out on their childhood, they also will not be able to find a job later on in life because they are not able to attend school regularly and due to this, all they know is field work. As the seasons change, a child changes as well. A child may go to one school while certain crops are picked and move to other schools as the time arrives to pick others. A migrant workers family soon develops a routine that many know today: packing and moving, searching for work, and studying repeated lessons in school due to the moving (27).

As stated in Young's book, the past century has been a time of expanding in the field of industry, but the attempt to unionize the American farm workers has been mostly unsuccessful. Many attempts to advance this field of work has resulted in violent outbursts of union workers and others that believe in the same cause to fight against what needs to be done (8). As Rodriguez notes in his book, Cesar Chavez, a labor union organizer and a spokesman for the poor, especially his fellow Mexican American farmworks, organizes farm workers throughout California's San Joaquin Valley into the National Farm Worker's Association (NFWA). They held their first convention in Fresno, California in the fall of 1962, in which time begun discussing ways to get their views across to the general public. Chavez's approach yielded results: picketing of fields, nationwide boycott of California grapes, and skillful
