The UFWOC had previously concentrated their organizing activity toward the hand laborers, grape pickers ard like. The teamsters union, for several years, have already organized farm workers in agricultural enterprises orientated towards cybernization, the combination of man and machine utilized in agricultural products, such as truck drivers, other equipment operators and produce packing sheds. The teamsters union previously had supported the UFWOC with men and money until about three years ago. During the past two or three years the teamsters and UFWOC, since changed to the United Ferm Workers Union CUFIU), have become involved in jurisdictional disputes with the teamsters claiming the UFWU have attempted to sign contracts with packing shed and cybernetic orientated agricultural activity, which was already organized under the teamsters. The UFWU have claimed teamster organizing activity among field laborers. The growers claim the UFWU has not been suffictently organized with hiring halls, and could not and did not furnish the necessary labor manpower to the growers when needed. The teamsters have begun signing contracts with growers, claiming they are sufficiently organized to furnish the necessary labor supply to growers. 58
