After 'troubling' sexual allegations against civil rights leader, Cesar Chavez Day canceled by unions

TL;DR

The United Farm Workers union won’t participate in events honoring Chavez. Cesar Chavez, the late farmworker organizer who became a national civil rights icon and co-founded the United Farm Workers, is accused of abusing "young women or minors," the union said in a statement Tuesday. "The UFW has learned of deeply troubling allegations that one of the union's co-founders, Cesar Chavez, behaved in ways that are incompatible with our organization's values," the union said.
