Hayes Robbins' groundbreaking study of the relationship between the labor movement and the farmer remains an important work in the field of American labor history. Robbins argues that the interests of farmers and laborers are fundamentally aligned, and that their struggles are part of a larger struggle for social justice. With a focus on the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, The Labor Movement and the Farmer provides valuable insights into the history of American democracy.

The section on farm worker movements looks mainly at the agribusiness economy of California, beginning with farm worker mobilization in the depression era and the emergence of such prominent unions as the Cannery and Agricultural Workers Industrial Union and the United Cannery, Agricultural, Packing, and Allied Workers of America. The authors extensively examine the United Farm Workers (UFW) activism that began in 1965 under the late Cesar Chavez and culminated in 1975 with the passage of the California Agricultural Labor Relations Act. The achievements of the Farm Labor Organizing Committee in Ohio and Michigan during the 1980s and early 1990s is also compared with the relative failures of the UFW during that same time period, and the authors pay particular attention to the "control issues" that have been crucial among farm worker demands.
