Thesis (M.A.)--The University of Toledo, 2014.

This thesis explores the organizing strategies of the Farm Labor Organizing Committee (FLOC), and documents the precarious, hazardous and exploitative conditions faced by farm workers in Ohio and North Carolina, based on 18 months of ethnographic fieldwork. Farm workers experience dangerous conditions and poor pay, and are often subjected to human trafficking, sexual or physical abuse, and unsanitary housing conditions. Farm workers are often undocumented workers, facing hostile political and cultural discourses which position them as "illegal aliens," with the ever-present threat of deportation. FLOC's strategy of "supply-side organizing" in its campaign against Reynolds America Inc. and other strategies of transnational organizing are analyzed; it is suggested that such strategies are an effective response to economic liberalism, globalization, and effects of free trade policies such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). FLOC's use of community unionism, and its broader engagement with the Latino/a community, are also analyzed in the thesis.
