rural labor unions
Rural labor unions are organizations that represent workers in agricultural or rural areas, advocating for better wages, working conditions, and rights. They aim to empower farmworkers and rural employees to collectively negotiate with employers, improve workplace safety, and influence policies affecting their livelihoods. These unions help ensure fair treatment and can provide support for issues unique to rural industries, such as seasonal employment or exposure to agricultural hazards. By uniting workers, rural labor unions seek to promote economic justice and social equity in often underserved and economically vulnerable communities.
