Farm Labor Organizing Committee
The Farm Labor Organizing Committee (FLOC), AFL-CIO, is a labor union representing migrant farm workers in the Midwestern United States and North Carolina.
==History==
FLOC was founded in Toledo, Ohio, in 1967 by Baldemar Velasquez.〔Barger and Reza, ''The Farm Labor Movement in the Midwest,'' 1994.〕 A migrant worker who had worked in the fields since he was six years old, Velasquez led his first strike at the age of 12.〔Franklin, "Farm Workers' Group Pushes for Better Pay, Rights," ''Chicago Tribune,'' April 8, 2006.〕 By the time he was 20 years old and a college student, Velasquez had already faced numerous beatings and arrests. But in 1967, with the help of his father and others, Velasquez organized FLOC among migrant field workers picking tomatoes in Ohio.〔〔"FLOC Founder to Speak on Pesticide Poisoning," ''The Monitor,'' August 23, 1999; Rosenbaum, "Farm Labor Organizing Committee (FLOC): Grassroots Organizing for the Empowerment of the Migrant Farm Worker Community," ''Culture and Agriculture,'' Fall 1993; Rosenbaum, "Unionization of Tomato Field Workers in Northwest Ohio, 1967–1969," ''Labor History,'' Summer 1994.〕
FLOC's initial organizing strategy was to focus on workers, as most unions did. FLOC organizers followed migrant workers year-round, moving south to Texas and Florida every winter to build an organizing base.〔"The Power of Organizing: Securing Farmworkers' Rights," ''Multinational Monitor,'' May 1993.〕 By 1977, however, FLOC had only 700 members.〔
