Support Justice for Tobacco Farmworkers!

Big tobacco companies are among the richest parties in American agriculture. They have constructed a supply system that benefits themselves, at the expense of those who produce their leaf products. FLOC has continuously called on Reynolds American to meet with the farmworkers their company relies on for its raw product and put an end to exploitation in NC tobacco fields. Read More

Campaign Breakthrough! After four years of pressure, Reynolds has agreed to meet directly with FLOC. This exciting announcement comes shortly after several other major tobacco companies also agree to meet with FLOC and discuss farmworkers’ right to freedom of association. Read more

Now, more than ever, we need to keep the pressure on these companies to ensure that they take meaningful steps to protect farmworkers' basic rights. Hundreds of supporters have weighted in with major Reynolds customers like McLane Co. and Kangaroo, and we're having an impact. Read more about how we've moved this campaign forward. Read more
