You may remember the letter from a few weeks back when we wrote to the executives of Krug-Mondavi Winery. Krug-Mondavi was threatening to fire all of its workers in an attempt to flush out the United Farm Workers union. Despite public pressure, the company went through with the mass firing a couple of weeks ago.
I’m not the kind of persyn who writes a letter then forgets about the campaign. So i’m revisiting the issue again this week to support two letter-writing campaigns of the United Farm Workers. The first is a letter to the offices of Krug-Mondavi Winery regarding the boycott against the company. You can send an email (there is, of course, a form email you can send) from the UFW’s campaign page. The second letter is to Longs Drug Stores, a distributor of Krug-Mondavi wines, asking them to put pressure on Krug-Mondavi to bring back the workers and return to the negotiating table. Longs purports a tradition of “treating others as we, ourselves, would like to be treated.” Take a minute and send the company an email from this page..
