It’s been a while since we provided our followers with updates, but in the coming weeks, we will be more active on our social media accounts sharing what has been happening with our goals for achieving a fair contract.

Our hearts go out to all of those who lost their lives & loved ones today in this poultry plant.
Please DONATE here to help provide pulmonary examinations to survivors who could not get tested out of fear their legal status would be questioned. gofundme.com/f/gainesville-…
