Farm Labor Organizing Committee
The Farm Labor Organizing Committee (FLOC) is a labor union that represents farmworkers in the United States. Founded in 1967, it aims to improve working conditions, wages, and rights for agricultural laborers, particularly those in the tobacco and fruit industries. FLOC advocates for fair treatment and better labor practices through collective bargaining and organizing efforts.
FLOC has been involved in various campaigns to secure contracts with major agricultural employers. The organization collaborates with other labor unions and community groups to raise awareness about the challenges faced by farmworkers. Through education and activism, FLOC seeks to empower workers and promote social justice in the agricultural sector.
