The farm workers who produce Black Eagle Wines have the dignity of a union contract, health insurance and a pension,” said Arturo Rodriguez, President of the United Farm Workers.Ĭesar Chavez founded the United Farm Workers on the principle of organizing people to help themselves earn a better living without reliance on government assistance. While the vast majority of farm workers continue to work in an abusive system, there are thousands of farm workers whose lives the UFW has changed. “ Black Eagle Wines is a reminder that we have something to celebrate. The new wines come from exemplary fruit with the added distinction of being harvested by workers whose union membership has helped bring them better wages and living conditions. Black Eagle Wines signifies the progress made by the UFW-moving from days of grape boycotts 40 years ago to now celebrating wine that, through its harvest and production, respects farm workers’ labor.
