Squishing Gallo´s Grapes

We all know who Cesar Chavez is, right? Yes! (And if your answer was no, Jeeze! Read a book, will ya?) He was the founder of the United Farm Workers Union, the organization that led a boycott on Gallo Wines 32 years ago because the company was exploiting and mistreating all of its vineyard workers in Sonoma County.

Well, it seems like old habits die hard because Gallo Wines has gone back to its scummy ways. Here is a list of their terribleness:

·When Gallo farm workers in Sonoma County voted overwhelmingly for the UFW in 1994, all of them were full-time workers with benefits. Today, 75 percent of them are temporary employees with no benefits whatsoever.

·All of the Gallos’ Sonoma County farm workers endure chronically low pay. Yet the Gallos are offering a zero wage increase.

·The Gallos deny the overwhelming majority of their workers health coverage, paid holidays and vacations, job security, 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.

So if Gallo Wines wants to be cheap and scummy, we´ll have to hit em where it hurts. That´s right, it´s time to boycott. Tell America’s wealthiest wine making family that you´re not drinking their swill until until they treat their people with good will.
