Cesar Chavez faced numerous struggles while advocating for farmworkers' rights. One major challenge was the widespread discrimination and exploitation faced by migrant workers. Establishing the United Farm Workers union involved overcoming resistance from agricultural employers and law enforcement, often leading to violent confrontations. Chavez also had to deal with issues in organizing and unifying a diverse workforce with different backgrounds and priorities. His commitment to nonviolent protest faced obstacles, such as public indifference and the media's negative portrayal of the labor movement, complicating efforts to gain support for fair wages and working conditions.
