    Pickle Pact' Helps To Unionize Farm Workers WRAL.com, NC
    Mt. Olive chief executive officer Bill Bryan said the boycott caused a minor drop in sales and made public relations tough.

    'I'm one pickle packer that's happy to be out of a pickle today. It's a big relief to have the boycott behind us,' he said.

    The farm labor union will focus on issues pertaining to legal immigrant workers. Local organizers say the contract is the first of its kind in the country. They hope other Grower's Associations in other states will follow its example.
