After Chavez's initial success with the NFWA, he merged the NSWA with another labor organization to create the United Farm Workers. Within this group, Chavez fought to make the struggles of farm workers known to all. Eventually, due to the efforts of him and many others, the agricultural labor relations act of 1974 was passed. This act gave farm workers the right to unionize and the ability to negotiate for better wages and working conditions.
