Mexican Farm Workers Win Historic FLOC-Backed Strike
FLOC/Kentucky AFL-CIO
Kentucky farmers who hire migrant workers aren’t always happy to see Stephen Bartlett.
So the Farm Labor Organizing Committee’s Bluegrass State organizer enjoys telling a story about a Green County tobacco grower.
"After organizing a successful mediation with this farmer and his H-2A guest workers, he told me he needed a union, too," said the Louisville-based Bartlett, who spoke at the recent Kentucky State AFL-CIO convention in Lexington.
Organizing immigrant labor on Kentucky farms might seem like mission impossible. Donald Trump won almost 63% of the Bluegrass State's vote and carried every rural county. But Bartlett, with FLOC leaders and lawyers behind him, made it "mission accomplished."
Last month, he helped seven Mexican H 2-A guest workers win apparently the first-ever tobacco workers’ strike in Kentucky, a state long synonymous with "brown gold."
