In August 1966, Bill Kircher, National Director of Organizing for the AFL-CIO, negotiated a merger between AWOC and the NFWA and would be named: United Farm Workers Organizing Committee AFL-CIO (UFWOC). Cesar Chavez was named president and Larry Itliong vice-president. Chavez and Itliong display the AFL-CIO charter which authorized their new union.
