Book Synopsis Economic Analyses on Florida Farm Labor Market Issues by : Jamille Palacios
Download or read book Economic Analyses on Florida Farm Labor Market Issues written by Jamille Palacios and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the second essay, this dissertation evaluates the effectiveness of the farm worker strategy of boycotts to secure wage supplements. A dynamic game of complete but imperfect information is developed. The game theory application explains the strategic decisions by the two players: farm labor groups and target agriculturally related retailers or firms. Event study results show no negative financial effects on retailers from boycott events and subsequent agreements between farm labor groups and target companies. This might be due to counterstrategies taken by target retailers. Probit model estimates show predicting factors for the agreement. A third essay is devoted to the analysis of temporary work force programs and immigration enforcement initiatives. An econometric model of aggregate supply and derived demand for farm workers is used for the analysis. Results show how as immigration policies become more or less restrictive, the supply of foreign farm labor decreases or increases, resulting in new equilibrium wage rates.

Book Synopsis Environmental Justice and Farm Labor by : Rebecca E. Berkey
Download or read book Environmental Justice and Farm Labor written by Rebecca E. Berkey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-02-17 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Utilizing a model derived from literature on environmental justice overlaid with multiple scales of agriculture, Environmental Justice and Farm Labor provides key insights about laborers in agriculture in the United States. It addresses three main topics: (1) justice-related issues facing farmers and laborers on farms; (2) how history and policy have impacted them; and (3) the opportunities and leverage points for change in improving justice outcomes. It explores who labors in US agriculture and the justice-related issues facing these workers, including occupational injury and illness, lack of access to healthcare, substandard housing, hunger, low wages, issues pertaining to immigration, and the inability to organize. In addition, it assesses the impacts of labor safety, immigration and international policy, and in particular the effects of organic and fair trade certification. Two detailed case studies, one based on conventional agriculture in Florida and the other on organic agriculture in the Northeast, highlight the interrelated but unique challenges facing those who labor in the different sectors of this complex agricultural system. Finally, it touches on justice claims and the role of grassroots activism in improving justice outcomes by highlighting organizations operating at multiple scales to contribute to the livelihood of farmers and laborers in the different areas of agriculture.

Book Synopsis On the Road for Work by : G. Thomas-Lycklama-Nijeholt
Download or read book On the Road for Work written by G. Thomas-Lycklama-Nijeholt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Migratory farm workers provide the extra hands that are so badly needed during the planting and harvest season in the United States. Although these workers have been essential to the American agricultural system for more than a hundred years, our knowledge of them is limited and quite fragmentary; it can be divided roughly into two types of information. On the one hand, we have the statistical data collected by various censuses and the data gathered by agricultural econ omists to study the supply of and demand for farm labor. The economic aspects of farm labor generally predominate in such material. On the other, we have the scientific studies and journalistic descriptions that report on migratory farm by using a qualitative approach. The social scientists and journalists who workers have compiled these reports lived in the labor camps and have vividly described the dismal and oppressive conditions these workers must endure. The drawback of the first type of data is that its orientation to economic problems makes it too superficial and one-sided. It fails to interrelate the diverse economic factors affecting the lives and work of all farm workers, and conse quently presents a distorted and incomplete picture of migratory farm worker life. Also, because the migratory farm workers are quite elusive and usually keep a low profIle, they are often underrepresented in such data. The data gathered by using qualitative methods have the major disadvantage of being quite limited in scope.
Book Synopsis I Am Not a Tractor! by : Susan L. Marquis
Download or read book I Am Not a Tractor! written by Susan L. Marquis and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I Am Not a Tractor! celebrates the courage, vision, and creativity of the farmworkers and community leaders who have transformed one of the worst agricultural situations in the United States into one of the best. Susan L. Marquis highlights past abuses workers suffered in Florida’s tomato fields: toxic pesticide exposure, beatings, sexual assault, rampant wage theft, and even, astonishingly, modern-day slavery. Marquis unveils how, even without new legislation, regulation, or government participation, these farmworkers have dramatically improved their work conditions. Marquis credits this success to the immigrants from Mexico, Haiti, and Guatemala who formed the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, a neuroscience major who takes great pride in the watermelon crew he runs, a leading farmer/grower who was once homeless, and a retired New York State judge who volunteered to stuff envelopes and ended up building a groundbreaking institution. Through the Fair Food Program that they have developed, fought for, and implemented, these people have changed the lives of more than thirty thousand field workers. I Am Not a Tractor! offers a range of solutions to a problem that is rooted in our nation’s slave history and that is worsened by ongoing conflict over immigration.
