Retailers are in a very special position to keep their suppliers accountable. This is why farm workers out at Giumarra Vineyards—the nation’s largest table grape grower—are seeking their help in keeping their employer accountable. We know from experience, however, that it is you—the consumer—whom grocers are most responsive to. Please let Unified Grocers, a Forbes Fortune 1,000 company made up of over 3,000 independent retailers, know that as a purchaser of Giumarra’s Nature’s Partner produce, they have a responsibility to hold this company up to higher standards.

The conditions at Giumarra are deplorable. Look what Giumarra employee Domingo Valderrama has to say about how his company treats farm workers:

You may be surprised to hear that Giumarra can get away with denying workers water or breaks during the hot summer months of CA’s Central Valley, where temperatures climb to the triple digits. Not only is this a grave injustice, it is also illegal. However, this company has a long history of such violations. State enforcement of the law has proven to be inadequate in protecting these workers. In order to be able to ensure their own protection, farm workers need union representation. Giumarra goes to great lengths to avoid losing any power over the farm workers toiling in their fields. In the past, they’ve harassed and intimidated workers who have tried to gain union representation.

In order to make sure that Giumarra cannot do this again, we need you to tell the buyers of Giumarra’s and Nature’s Partner’s produce to demand this company uphold the law. Join Domingo in saying, "Si Se Puede!"
