AFL-CIO Now

Stand with Sugar Workers!

This is a cross-post  by AFL-CIO Community Services Director Will Fisher.

For generations, the sugar beet industry has been the lifeblood of northwest Minnesota’s Red River Valley.
 
Sugar workers always have stood shoulder to shoulder with American Crystal Sugar Co. and farmers to protect and advance the sugar industry.

Together, the workers, company and growers have helped to build the local economy, support families and have made communities flourish. Now, American Crystal has put all of this in jeopardy by locking out workers.
 
Sign our petition telling CEO Dave Berg: Don’t turn your back on the community!

 

You can contribute to help locked-out workers fight back by donating to the action fund.

You also can contribute to the relief fund, which helps locked-out workers with economic hardship.

Want to donate via check?  Make checks out to: Minnesota AFL-CIO, 175 Aurora Ave., St. Paul, MN 55103. In the memo line, print either “BCTGM Action Fund” or “BCTGM Relief Fund.”
