What is The Farm Labor Movement in the Midwest : Social Change and Adaptation Among Migrant Farmworkers about?
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.
