UNIONISM AND COLLECTIVE BARGAINING FOR AGRICULTURAL WORKERS A Selective Bibliography Introduction This bibliography is selective. Citations from weekly news magazines are for the most part excluded, excepting those frequently listed in the various sources. Although some entries date as far back as 1910, the major emphasis is on materials published in recent years. Items readily available to the bibliographer received annotations. The absence of annotation does not imply lesser importance or value of an entry. Sources used to compile the bibliography include the files of the Congressional Research Service, the card catalog of the Library of Congress, and standard periodical indexes such as Public Affairs Information Service Index, the Index of Legal Periodicals, Business Periodicals Index, and Biological and Agricultural Index. These sources were searched through April 1971. The researcher can expeditiously update this work by using the above indices for periods after April 1971 and looking under the following headings. Library of Congress call numbers are given for those books and government publications listed in the Library's card catalog. Several organizations and agencies having interests in agricultural labor and farmworker unions provide the researcher additional sources of information: National Advisory Committee on Farm Labor and National Sharecroppers Funds 112 East 19th Street New York, New York 10003 This Committee is a non-profit voluntary agency of private citizens whose aim is to improve conditions for farm workers.
