Churchmen threaten to quit Chavez over Philippines trip
Leaders of major church groups threaten to withdraw support from Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers over his July visit to the Philippines. They cite Marcos martial law and limits on worker rights as reasons to question Chavez and his union. Several clergy say they received letters from churches and ecumenical bodies expressing regret and concern. Chavez defended his trip noting Marcos agreed to national elections, while critics warn the visit could weaken labor movement pressure for rights.
