Thursday, Aug. 21, 12pm: Rally to Support Windmill Mushroom Workers
Farmworkers at Windmill Farms have faced retaliation, discrimination, and union-busting for simply demanding what every worker deserves: dignity, a voice on the job, and union recognition.
These workers — many of them immigrants — are organizing with UFW and PCUN for a boycott of Windmill mushrooms until their union is recognized and respected.
Come out Aug. 21 to show your support for Windmill workers! Let’s pressure retailers like Safeway to drop Windmill and encourage customers to support the boycott!
