DESCRIPTION:Communities Organizing Support for Blue Diamond Workers (COS-BDW) is 
 sponsoring a forum to help the workers get a fair and free union election. 
 Blue Diamond Growers' Sacramento plant is the largest almond processing 
 facility in the world. The workers there have been trying for three years 
 to join the International Longshore and Warehouse Union. The company 
 responded with a heavy anti-union campaign. Now 18 community organizations 
 have come together in COS "because sometimes it takes a community to get 
 justice on the job." At Sunday's event, workers will testify to a community 
 panel that includes Rev. Dave Thompson from Westminster Presbyterian 
 Church, Chris Jones from ACORN and State Sen. Darryl Steinberg. The panel 
 will deliberate and return with recommendations for community action.\n
