Farm worker strikes

Farm worker strikes are organized protests by agricultural laborers seeking better working conditions, fair wages, and rights. These strikes occur when workers feel their needs are not being met by employers, leading them to stop working as a form of negotiation. They can involve various agricultural sectors, including fruit picking and crop harvesting. Strikes aim to bring attention to issues such as long hours, low pay, unsafe conditions, and lack of benefits. They play a crucial role in advocating for labor rights and improving standards in the agricultural industry, ultimately benefiting the workers and the wider community.
