Milk with Dignity

From Migrant Justice:

For years, farmworkers have called on Hannaford customers to engage with the company and make their demands heard – and thousands have responded, sending emails, making calls, writing postcards, speaking with store managers and more. But Hannaford has refused to listen. This is why on May 1st we are taking the new step of telling customers: Don’t cross the picket line; don’t shop at Hannaford!

From the store’s opening at 7am to its closing at 11pm, workers and allies will maintain a picket, educating potential customers about the human rights abuses on Hananford’s farms and urging them to shop elsewhere.

Join us on the picket line for a few hours – or the full day! – on May 1st at the Hannaford Supermarkets in Williston. At 5:30pm, we will gather outside the store for a large rally.

From Migrant Justice:

Dairy workers and faith leaders from around the country picket in front of a Hannaford supermarket to denounce human rights abuses in the company’s dairy supply chain and to call on the grocery chain to join the Milk with Dignity program.

Milk with Dignity implements a farmworker-authored Code of Conduct setting standards for labor and housing conditions on dairy farms. Participating companies require dairy suppliers to enroll in the Program and pay a premium to cover raises and improvements. Workers are educated on their rights in the Program, and standards are enforced by an independent monitor.
