JOIN THE NEW GALLO BOYCOTT: SIGN THE PETITION TODAY!
http://www.unionvoice.org/campaign/nogallo/step1.tcl The United Farm Workers invites people of good will to join our second boycott of Gallo wine in 32 years. Hundreds of farm workers and supporters are kicking off the new international boycott of Gallo wine June 14 on the steps of San Francisco City Hall.
Together we will convince America's wealthiest wine making family to do the responsible thing by stopping the exploitation of their workers.
The Gallos deny the majority of their farm workers benefits and grievance rights. The Gallos abuse, cheat and deny these workers benefits, job protections and humane living conditions in the heart of California's fabled wine country.
The Gallos say they have no responsibility for the miserable conditions endured by their vineyard employees because they are "temporary workers"
Through this boycott, people of goodwill can have a say. "No Gallo!"
Please sign the petition informing the Gallos of your decision to join the boycott. And pass it on to your friends.
For more information, visit:
