NY Communities for Change has organized a second rally to support the workers at Golden Farm, who, with support from RWDSU/UFCW Local 338, have filed a lawsuit against the owner, Sonil Kim, to gain back pay and future contracts that ensure workers receive benefits, paid sick leave, and more. From the organization:
What to do to take action?
1. Call the store at (718) 871-1009 ask to speak with Mr. Kim and let him know that you support the workers.
2. When you shop ask to speak with Mr. Kim and let him know that you support the workers.
3. Come out to the Kensington Fair Food Rally: FRIDAY JANUARY 13!
Join us for a neighborhood meeting. Save the date: January 19th at 8:30, location TBA. We will discuss how the community can best support the workers, workers will be present.
