Boycott Rally Resumes at Grocery Store
Crowd gathers to support workers' contract negotiations.
A rally over workers' right resumed on Aug. 10 at a Kensington grocery store, according to a story in The Indypendent free paper.
According to the website:
The Saturday rally, announced just two days before, marked the resumption of a consumer boycott at the Golden Farm grocery store in support of Latino produce workers currently in negotiations with the shop’s owner, Sonny Kim. Kensington residents and local labor rights activists started the boycott one year earlier, in August 2012, but suspended it last March at the urging of the workers’ union, Local 338 RWDSU/UFCW, in the hope that this would advance the contract talks.
