Labor relations in agriculture

Labor relations in agriculture involve the interactions between farm workers, employers, and unions, focusing on fair wages, working conditions, and employment rights. These relationships are shaped by laws, collective bargaining, and negotiations aimed at ensuring workers are treated fairly while maintaining agricultural productivity. Challenges often include seasonal employment, language barriers, and labor shortages. Effective labor relations promote cooperation, prevent disputes, and support sustainable farming practices by balancing the needs of workers and farm owners within a legal and ethical framework.
