The group coordinated protests against Levi Strauss & Company for the lack of corporate responsibility to workers. In the late 1990s, Levi did a second round of lay off and this time offered workers a severance package of roughly $30,000 per worker. Casares representing Fuerza Unida asked the company to negotiate a similar package for the 1990s former employees.[6][7] She received the Ohtli Award for her work in community activism from the government of Mexico at the National Convention of League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) in San Juan Puerto Rico on July 17, 2009.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|author=April Lopez |url=https://www.mysanantonio.com/sacultura/conexion/article/Viola-Casares-It-comes-out-of-your-heart-857982.php |title=Viola Casares: 'It comes out of your heart' - San Antonio Express-News |publisher=Mysanantonio.com |date=2009-08-20 |accessdate=2018-03-08}} 2. ^{{Cite journal|last=Kara|first=Zugman|date=2003|title=Political consciousness and new social movement theory: the case of Fuerza Unida|url=|journal=Social Justice|volume=30 |issue=1|pages=153|via=}} 3. ^{{Cite journal|last=Janet L.|first=Finn|date=Winter 2002|title=WOMEN CREATING CHANGE Fuerza Unida|url=|journal=Affilia|volume=|pages=|via=}} 4. ^{{Cite book|title=Creating a critical Chicana narrative: Writing the Chicanas at Farah into labor history|last=Mata|first=Jennifer Rebecca|publisher=ProQuest Dissertations Publishing|year=2004|isbn=|location=Washington State University|pages=157}} 5. ^{{Cite journal|last=|first=|date=Winter 2010|title=Fuerza Unida: The Focal Point of Activism, Honorable Recognition of Petra Mata|url=http://www.lulac.net/publications/lulacnews/2010winter.pdf|journal=LULAC News|volume=|pages=11–11|via=}} 6. ^{{Cite journal|last=Medaille|first=Bill|DUPLICATE_date=|title=Faded denim NAFTA blues|url=|journal=Multinational Monitor|volume=18| issue = 12 |date=December 1997|pages=23–26|via=}} 7. ^{{Cite journal|last=M.L.|first=Yoon|date=2001|title=Migrating from Exploitation to Dignity: Immigrant Women Workers and the Struggle for Justice.
