Ex-volunteer sues Chavez nonprofits for inaction on alleged abuse by union leader

A former volunteer filed a lawsuit in Kern County Superior Court accusing the César Chávez Foundation and the United Farm Workers Foundation of failing to investigate or address decades of sexual abuse allegations against César Chávez, including abuse tied to Dolores Huerta; the suit seeks a jury trial and damages, and follows earlier reporting that spurred the first legal action against Chávez-related nonprofits.
