We're also America's youngest union, with the greatest percentage of members under the age of 35 of any other union. Our members know that through sticking together, we can get our country back on track and create a better future for all working people.

Farm Labor Organizing Committee
is a farm worker union which successfully negotiated an historic three-way contract between workers, the North Carolina Grower’s Association, and Mt. Olive Pickle Company in 2004, ending a five-year boycott of Mt. Olive Pickles.  The contract resulted in more than 8,000 H2A (temporary) farm workers in North Carolina becoming the first such guest workers in the U.S. to win union representation and provided for improved wages, safety protections, and grievance procedures.  Today, FLOC is engaged in a campaign against RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company.
