Unionization Ahead For Farm Workers
Edward W Tyrchiiewilex of Kansas State University argues unionization in agriculture will come slowly and irregularly. Public interest, church action, and existing agricultural unions could promote it, while small, scattered farms and high organizing costs limit growth. Even with NLRA coverage, substantial reform would take time. Indirect impact may surface as farm groups push better wages and conditions to deter union drives.
