UPDATE: @SenSanders and six other U.S. senators have sent a letter to @RichProducts in support of ice cream cake makers in California who have been on strike for more than two months. 
Rich Products has refused to go back to the bargaining table since mid-December. @SenAlexPadilla, @SenWarren, @SenSherrodBrown , @SenMarkey, @SenBooker and @SenatorBaldwin signed onto the letter telling the company to bargain in good faith & come to a fair agreement.
“Let’s be clear. Rich Products is not a poor company. It is not going broke. Last year, your company made over $4 billion in revenue…We do not believe that it is too much to ask that you treat your workers with the respect and dignity they have earned and deserve.”
The bakers are demanding $1 raises for the next three years. According to @BCTGM, that would cost Rich Products just $165,000 a year.
A striking worker told us “Everything’s going up, and they think we’re going to make it on a 50-cents raise?”

The workers have been on the picket line every day since November 3. Support their struggle here: gofundme.com/f/official-jon…
