Labor unions, like Culinary Local 226, released statements condemning the allegations.
Chávez picketed with Culinary Local 226 during the Frontier Strike in the 1990s.
“The allegations against Cesar Chavez have been heartbreaking to hear,” the statement read in part. “We believe, stand firmly with the victims, and strongly condemn any abuse of power, sexual misconduct, or violence against women and children.”
