  • The California agricultural strikes of 1933 were a series of strikes by mostly Mexican and Filipino agricultural workers throughout the San Joaquin Valley. More than 47,500 workers were involved in the wave of approximately 30 strikes from 1931-1941. Twenty-four of the strikes, involving 37,500 union members, were led by the Cannery and Agricultural Workers' Industrial Union (CAWIU). The strikes are grouped together because most of them were organized by the CAWIU. Strike actions began in August among cherry, grape, peach, pear, sugar beet, and tomato workers, and culminated in a number of strikes against cotton growers in the San Joaquin Valley in October. The cotton strikes involved the largest number of workers. Sources vary as to numbers involved in the cotton strikes, with some sources claiming 18,000 workers and others just 12,000 workers, 80% of whom were Mexican. In the cotton strikes of 1933, striking workers were evicted from company housing while growers and managerial staff were deputized by local law enforcement. Attacks by employers on peaceful striking workers were common and the surrounding community of bankers, merchants, ministers, and Boy Scouts encouraged the attacks. As a sheriff stated, "We protect our farmers here in Kern county. But the Mexicans are trash. They have no standard of living. We herd them like pigs." In Pixley, California, two strikers, Dolores Hernàndez and Delfino D'Ávila, were murdered and eight others wounded after "local sheriffs handed out six hundred citizen's permits to carry concealed weapons." Eight growers faced charges in the shootings, but all were acquitted. Another man, Pedro Subia, was murdered near Arvin, California. Workers came from camps from all around the Bakersfield area to commemorate his life at Bakersfield City Hall. CAWIU organizers Pat Chambers and Caroline Decker were arrested and charged under the California Criminal Syndicalism Act for their labor organizing activities. (en)
  • Las huelgas agrícolas de California de 1933 fueron una serie de huelgas de trabajadores agrícolas, principalmente mexicanos y filipinos, en todo el Valle de San Joaquín en California, Estados Unidos. Más de 47 500 trabajadores participaron en la ola de aproximadamente 30 huelgas de 1931 a 1941.​​ Veinticuatro de las huelgas, que involucraron a 37 500 sindicalistas, fueron lideradas por el (CAWIU, «Sindicato Industrial de Trabajadores de Conservas y Agrícolas»).​​ Las huelgas generalmente son agrupadas porque la mayoría de ellas fueron organizadas por el CAWIU. Las acciones de huelga comenzaron en agosto entre los trabajadores de cerezas, uvas, melocotones, peras, remolacha azucarera y tomates, y culminaron en una serie de huelgas contra los productores de algodón en el Valle de San Joaquín en octubre. Las huelgas algodoneras involucraron al mayor número de trabajadores. Las fuentes varían en cuanto al número de personas involucradas en las huelgas algodoneras, con algunas fuentes afirmando 18 000 trabajadores​ y otras sólo 12 000 trabajadores,​​ 80% de los cuales eran mexicanos.​ En las huelgas del algodón de 1933, los trabajadores en huelga fueron desalojados de las viviendas de la empresa, mientras que los agricultores y el personal directivo fueron sustituidos por la policía local. Ataques de los empleadores contra trabajadores en huelga pacífica eran comunes y la comunidad circundante de banqueros, comerciantes, ministros y Boy Scouts alentó los ataques.​ Como dijo un alguacil: «Protegemos a nuestros granjeros aquí en el condado de Kern. Pero los mexicanos son basura. No tienen un nivel de vida. Los criamos como cerdos».​ En Pixley, California, dos huelguistas, Dolores Hernández y Delfino D'Ávila, fueron asesinados y otros ocho resultaron heridos luego de que «alguaciles locales entregaron seiscientos permisos ciudadanos para portar armas ocultas».​ Ocho agricultores enfrentaron cargos en los tiroteos, pero todos fueron absueltos.​ Otro hombre, Pedro Subia, fue asesinado cerca de Arvin, California. Los trabajadores vinieron de campamentos de todo el área de Bakersfield para conmemorar su vida en el Ayuntamiento de Bakersfield.​ Los organizadores de CAWIU, Pat Chambers y Caroline Decker, fueron arrestados y acusados en virtud de la Ley de Sindicalismo Criminal de California por sus actividades de organización laboral.​ (es)
