Two farmworkers take a break from picket duty during the 15-month strike at Jensen Farms.

During the strike the union trailer was vandalized several times and an attempt was made at one point to burn it down while three strikers were inside. The grower successfully pressured the district to tow the trailer away claiming it was parked illegally.

"Farm owner Carl Jensen is not even willing to accept that farmworkers are human beings." - CFU President Raj Chouhan, 1982
