Boycott Gallo Wines 
The workers of Gallo in Sonoma County have been fighting to improve working conditions, making strides to overcome an eight year drought in wage increases. However, while some Gallo workers now earn $8.18 an hour, have 8 days of vacation and receive health benefits for themselves and for their families, the majority do not. Those workers who have been denied these benefits are hired through farm labor contractors (FLCs), which are third party agencies. This contract loophole denies 75 percent...
