DESCRIPTION:70,000 farm workers in the valley of San Quintin, Baja California have been 
 waging intermittent strikes and organizing mass mobilizations since March 
 2015 demanding an increase in their daily wage, an 8 hour work day (instead 
 of 12 hours), healthcare, overtime pay and vacation days and the legal 
 recognition of their independent union and the signing of a collective 
 bargaining agreement.\n\nThese farm workers pick strawberries, tomatoes and 
 other fruit primarily for export into the US market via the label of 
 Driscoll's through its Mexican subsidiary BerryMex.\n\nThey earn as little 
 as $7/per day and are subject to sexual abuse, pesticide poisoning and the 
 company utilizes child labor.\n\nThis Saturday September 29th Join the 
 "International Global Action" and spread the word to #BoycottDriscolls 
 everywhere.\n\nConsumers from all over the world will be supporting this 
 action and entering the markets to talk with more consumers and tell 
 them:\n\n• Driscoll's Strawberries are not purchased until human rights 
 are respected through the signing of a collective bargaining agreement 
 signed with our Independent National Union of Agricultural Laborers 
 (SINDJA).\n\n• Driscoll's Raspberries are not purchased until there is 
 security and affiliation to the IMSS within the agricultural fields.\n\n• 
 Driscoll's Blackberries are not bought until the labor rights of the 
 Agricultural Laborers are respected.\n\n• Driscoll's Blueberries are not 
 bought until the Laborers enjoy the basic rights within the fields and in 
 general all this is reflected in a real work contract with the 
 SINDJA.\n\nFor all this, #BoycottDriscolls continues and will not be 
 finished until all the above is agreed and respected ...\n\nLong live 
 Justice! Long live freedom of association!\n\n#BoycottDriscolls\n
