Unionization in agriculture

Unionization in agriculture involves farm workers forming or joining organized groups called unions to collectively advocate for their rights and interests. These unions negotiate with employers over wages, working conditions, job security, and other employment terms, giving workers more bargaining power. Because agricultural work often involves long hours and precarious conditions, unions aim to improve overall labor standards and ensure fair treatment. This process empowers workers to have a collective voice, helping balance the power dynamic between individual employees and large agribusinesses.
