HELP FARM WORKERS

FARMWORKERS FROM THE SALINAS VALLEY OF CALIFORNIA ARE IN MONTREAL TO ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT

Since August farmworkers from the Salinas Valley of California have been on strike against the growers who deny them the right to organize a union and to negotiate their own contracts.

The farmworkers picketed for several weeks despite harassment, beatings and illegal arrests.

Recently local courts refused them even the constitutional right to peaceful picketing.

No longer able to picket the fields, the farmworkers are once again turning to you, the consumer, for support. You can help by:

Buying only lettuce with the FARMWORKERS UNION LABEL - lettuce from InterHarvest and Freshpict, the two companies who have already signed contracts with the union.
