Hmm…sounds like many of my favorite foods will no longer grace my home or at least not until there is fairness in treatment is negotiated. Sounds like the situation for these workers is unfair and intolerable. I support their efforts toward change.

Although I have been a regular seasonal customer of Driscolls and other companies Sakuma sells to in the past, and I eat or process a lot of organic berries in summer, I will not buy any more from Driscoll or other Sakuma customers until Sakuma negotiates and honors contracts with unionized workers. They can clearly not be trusted to do anything less formal.

No more Driscoll products for me until workers are paid well and treated well.

How about management spends a day in the filed. However many berries they can pick in a day is how many the workers should be expected to pick in a day. Or convince them to go on the TV show Undercover Boss.

YoI will not purchase Sakuma Farm products until the workers are treated fairly.

I will not purchase Driscoll strawberries until the workers are paid a just wage.

Practice fairness and respect towards your workers or loss of sales will plague your organization in the future. ~LG
