The Women's Division Spring Meeting United Methodist Women Action Network Justice for Walt Disney Company Workers Strawberry Campaign of the United Farmworkers Support of Poultry Plant Workers |
After watching a video on conditions and wages of Strawberry workers in California, the Women’s Division directors voted to endorse a campaign supporting these workers as they strive to gain a living wage, clean drinking water, bathrooms in the fields, job security, health insurance, and an end to sexual harassment and other abuses. Staff informed directors that United Methodist Women can participate in the Strawberry Campaign of the United Farm Workers by gathering signatures supporting the campaign; encouraging supermarket managers to sign a pledge of support; and educating the rest of our membership about the working and living conditions of farm workers. |
