agricultural labor movements

Agricultural labor movements are efforts by farm workers and their advocates to improve wages, working conditions, and rights within the farming industry. These movements often organize strikes, protests, or negotiations to address issues like fair pay, safety standards, and legal protections. They aim to enhance the well-being of laborers who often face challenging, physically demanding jobs in rural settings. Historically, agricultural movements have been crucial in advocating for migrant workers and marginalized groups, influencing labor laws and policies to promote fair treatment and social justice in agriculture.
