| Summary: | The Farm Labor Organizing Committee (FLOC) was founded by Baldemar Velasquez 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 tell the story of FLOC's founding as a sister organization of the United Farm Workers (UFW) in California 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. (Similar contracts were later signed with Heinz, Aunt Jane's, and Green Bay and their growers in those states.) These contracts significantly changed the structure of agribusiness and instituted key reforms in American farm labor |
