FLOC has members on HUNDREDS of camps across North Carolina! Most farms are small, sometimes having 5 or fewer members working. Even so, we make it a priority to go out to each camp, visit and speak with workers, hear their concerns and check out their living conditions.

The tobacco industry is one of the most exploitative agricultural industries: only 6% of the wealth generated goes to farm workers, who are victims chemicals and exploitation. #IMA #IndYMedia
