Agricultural labor movement

The agricultural labor movement refers to the collective efforts of farmworkers to improve their working conditions, wages, and rights. Historically, this movement arose in response to poor labor conditions, long hours, and low pay in agriculture. Workers organized strikes, formed unions, and advocated for policies like better labor laws and fair wages. Key figures, such as Cesar Chavez, played significant roles in uniting and empowering workers, particularly in the U.S. The movement aims to ensure fair treatment and dignity for those who grow our food, highlighting the importance of their contributions to society.
