Closing in on their third month on strike, workers at Palermo's Pizza and their supporters continue to put pressure on Costco, the largest retailer of Palermo's products.

Beginning today, thousands of community activists and workers in more than 20 cities around the country will be participating in a National Week of Action at various Costco store locations. These events will inform Costco customers and employees of the worker abuses at Palermo's Pizza.

Costco has a Supplier Code of Conduct that, among other requirements, holds vendors to a high standard with respect to employees’ rights to assemble. Supporters of the Palermo Workers Union are calling on Costco to follow through with its commitment and help resolve this issue in the right way for its customers and employees at Palermo’s.

Workers from Palermo's Pizza have been on strike since June 1,  protesting unfair labor practices. The workers are seeking union recognition and reinstatement after their employer fired more than 75 workers. Many workers at Palermo’s face serious health hazards, have no sick days and make little more than the minimum wage. After nearly three months of striking, Palermo's workers continue to stand strong.

Cities participating in the National Days of Action include: Los Angeles; San Jose, Calif.; Seattle; Houston; Miami; Chicago; Pittsburgh; Philadelphia; Madison Heights, Mich.; Middleton, Wis.; Grafton, Wis.; Pewaukee, Wis.; San Antonio; El Paso, Texas; Austin, Texas; Minneapolis; and Gary, Ind.
