Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Farm Labor Organizing Committee (FLOC) was founded by Baldemar Velásquez in 1967 to challenge the poverty and powerlessness that confronted migrant farmworkers in the Midwest. This study documents FLOC's development through its first quarter century and analyzes its effectiveness as a social reform movement. Barger and Reza describe FLOC's founding as a sister organization of the United Farm Workers (UFW). They devote particular attention to FLOC's eight-year struggle (1978-1986) with the Campbell Soup company that led to three-way contracts for improved working conditions between FLOC, Campbell Soup, and Campbell's tomato and cucumber growers in Ohio and Michigan. This contract significantly changed the structure of agribusiness and instituted key reforms in American farm labor. The authors also address the processes of social change involved in FLOC actions. Their findings are based on extensive research among farmworkers, growers, and representatives of agribusiness, as well as personal involvement with FLOC leaders and supporters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis explores the organizing strategies of the Farm Labor Organizing Committee (FLOC), and documents the precarious, hazardous and exploitative conditions faced by farm workers in Ohio and North Carolina, based on 18 months of ethnographic fieldwork. Farm workers experience dangerous conditions and poor pay, and are often subjected to human trafficking, sexual or physical abuse, and unsanitary housing conditions. Farm workers are often undocumented workers, facing hostile political and cultural discourses which position them as "illegal aliens," with the ever-present threat of deportation. FLOC's strategy of "supply-side organizing" in its campaign against Reynolds America Inc. and other strategies of transnational organizing are analyzed; it is suggested that such strategies are an effective response to economic liberalism, globalization, and effects of free trade policies such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). FLOC's use of community unionism, and its broader engagement with the Latino/a community, are also analyzed in the thesis.
