dc.description.abstract | This dissertation has as its central objective an analysis of the participation of Mexican-Americans in organized labor in Texas. The methodology utilized is to present an evaluation of those factors affecting union membership together with a data oriented representation of the structure of organized labor in Texas. An analysis of the role of Mexican-Texans in state-wide labor organizations is also included. The most significant development regarding Mexican-Americans and organized labor has been the founding of the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee under the leadership of Cesar Chavez. A portion of this study is, therefore, devoted to the abortive attempt to spread the California based national union to Texas. Finally, this study probes the inter-relationship between Mexican-American activist movements and Mexican-Texan union members. Mexican-Texans constitute a significant part of organized labor only in those areas of Texas in which they comprise a high percentage of the total population. Increased Anglo competition for union jobs results in decreased Mexican-American participation in organized labor. However, research does not indicate that racial discrimination plays an important role in determining the level of participation by Mexican-Texans in organized labor. | |
