What was the main focus of the Delano grape strike?

  • Wage increases

  • Voting rights

  • Environmental issues

  • School funding

Answer

Wage increases were the primary demand of the Delano grape strike. The strike, which lasted from 1965 to 1970, was led by the United Farm Workers union and sought to improve the working conditions and pay of grape workers in California. The strike resulted in a significant increase in wages for farm workers and helped to establish the UFW as a major force in the labor movement.
