Farmers Should Negotiate With Employers Not Washington Politicians
The Monticello paper notes two separate Iowa meetings by the Farmers Union in Anamosa and the NFO in Cascade to discuss cooperation between farmers and labor. It argues farmers should organize to negotiate with their real employers the food processors, not seek price changes via legislation or Washington officials. The column cites Staley of the NFO and Lane’s merger talks, urging focused collective bargaining with processors for fair farm income.
