farm unions
Rural worker organizations
Farm unions are labor organizations representing agricultural workers, advocating for better wages, working conditions, and legal protections.
Unlike industrial unions, farm unions face unique challenges—seasonal employment, migrant workforces, and historical exclusion from labor laws.
The United Farm Workers, founded by César Chávez, became the most prominent American example: The farm union organized a grape boycott.
