No Blood In Our Sugar! From Negros To Crockett & The ILWU Battle With C&H Owed By Fangul
Report on ILWU Local 6 C&H Crocket strike and the international role of sugar plantation owners in the Island of Negros
No Blood In Our Sugar! From Negros To Crockett & The ILWU Battle At The C & H Fangul Owned Sugar Refinery
The ILWU Local 6 strike against the C & H sugar refinery in Crockett, California is connected to the slave labor conditions in the Philippines in Negros. The sugar that feeds the sugar refinery comes from the province of Negros in the Philippines where the sugar cane owners have been murdering union activist and organizers.
ILWU Local 10 longshore workers have also refused to unload a sugar ship from the Philippines at the refinery and have joined the strike by ILWU Local 6 making this connected to the ILWU coast wide contract for all longshore workers on the West Coast.
The company C&H is controlled by the American Sugar Refineries ASR which is owned by the Fangul family from Cuba who are long time big supporters and cronies of Trump who also live close to Trump's Maro Lago property. They also have a long record of operating slave labor plantations in the Dominican Republic and Haiti and now are taking on the ILWU. The Palm
each-based Fangul brothers — Alfonso “Alfy” Fanjul and Jose “Pepe” Fanjul Sr. also own Florida Crystals, a company that has for decades been accused of polluting the Florida Everglades ecosystem while buying off politicians through campaign contributions. The brothers partially own Domino Sugar and control roughly 40 percent of the state’s sugar industry,
Jose "Pepe" Fanjul Sr. besides being a crony of Trump is a client of Epstein but has yet to be prescuted.
ILWU Local 10 retired secretary treasurer Clarence Thomas talked about this connection at a LaborFest meeting at ILWU Local 10 on July 16, 2026.
