The Farm Labor Organizing Committee, AFL-CIO (FLOC), is a social movement and a labor union. We represent farmworkers throughout the Midwest and South.

The FLOC vision emphasizes human rights as the standard and self-determination as the process for achieving these rights. We struggle for justice for those who have been marginalized and exploited for the benefit of others and we work to change the structures of society to enable workers to have a direct voice in their own conditions. FLOC has built a membership of tens of thousands of migrant farmworkers by incorporating two key principles:

1. Farmworkers need a voice in the decisions that affect them: allowing workers to form a union and collectively bargain with their employer is the only way to address the huge imbalance of power and provide an effective structure for self-determination.

2. Bring all parties to the table to address industry wide problems: Multi-national corporations have created a supply system that enriches its executives at the expense of those who work in the fields. These corporations have the wealth and power to change the harsh realities that many farmworkers face. FLOC seeks a structure where all those in the system work together to solve problems: corporations, growers, and farmworkers. Historically, this is the only solution that has made a real difference in farmworkers' conditions and lives.
