We go where you are! Pensacola WSA and Progressive Student Alliance to picket Grand Opening of Daphne Publix

Time	Saturday, December 11 · 12:00pm - 2:00pm
Location	Publix 27955 US Hwy. 98 Daphne, AL

Immigrant farmworkers in Immokalee, FL work in the harshest conditions and Publix turns a profit from their exploitation. Farmworkers are still paid by the piece and the rate of wage has not increased since the 1980’s. Farmworkers often work 10-12 hours a day but don’t receive overtime pay. If a farmworker is injured on the job, the worker has to pay out of pocket medical expenses because of a lack of medical coverage. Publix ha...s an opportunity to help improve the wages yet they come up with excuse after excuse about how they don’t get involved in labor disputes. The Workers Solidarity Alliance Pensacola and the U.W.F. Progressive Student Alliance stand in solidarity with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) and demands that Publix sit down and negotiate to implement a code of conduct in their supply chain and pay one cent more per pound for tomatoes picked.

Join the Workers Solidarity Alliance and the Progressive Student Alliance in a protest at the grand opening of the new Publix in Daphne, AL on Saturday, December 11 at 12:00 P.M. The address is 27955 US Hwy. 98, Daphne, AL. For more information, contact wsapensacola@gmail.com or psa@uwf.edu

There will be carpooling from Pensacola for the event.
