In September 1965, Larry Dulay Itliong, Philip Vera Cruz and Peter Gines Velasco led more than 800 Filipino farmworkers on strike at 10 grape vineyards around Delano, California. While previous strikes in Delano had failed, Itliong, Vera Cruz and Velasco would unite farmworkers of different backgrounds to ensure that the picket lines held, and their members would ultimately prevail. Within 10 days of launching the strike, the Filipino labor leaders had gained the support of the mostly Latino National Farm Workers Association. It took tremendous courage to organize and take a stand against powerful growers in the grape industry and fight for higher wages, better working conditions and basic dignity. Their actions led to stronger protections for farmworkers and their legacy continues to inspire change for those who valiantly labor in the fields. Despite these historic efforts, Filipinos in the farm labor movement have largely remained unsung heroes. That’s why we inducted Itliong, Vera Cruz and Velasco into the U.S. Department of Labor’s Hall of Honor today. We honor these giants of the labor movement and recognize their rightful place in the history of labor in the United States. https://lnkd.in/erE6RFRK

Meet Daisy (and Nalani). Daisy is a Cocker-King Charles Spaniel mix, with the best traits of both breeds. She is a fierce tracker and a complete darling — the ultimate companion. She is spoiled by her great-grandma and gets treats all the time, which she absolutely deserves, even if she sometimes gets into trouble with Nalani, whose grandfather Juan helps share news and resources about the department’s work with the public. #DOLPets
