Hurray for @aprilbloomfield @thespottedpig and a big ole 👎🏽to @tomcatbakery #Repost @risenresistnycgraphics (@get_repost) ・・・ Good News. NYC’s The Spotted Pig restaurant has stopped using Tom Cat Bakery as it’s supplier to oppose its collusion with ICE and its exploitation of immigrant workers. @risenresistnyc has partnered with Brandworkers to urge food suppliers to stand in solidarity with their workforce and resist our government’s persecution of immigrant workers. More to come! #risenresistnyc #risenresistnycgraphics #brandworkers #noiceornobread (at The Spotted Pig)

We are overjoyed to announce the biggest victory yet from Focus on the Food Chain!  Workers at Flaum Appetizing, with your unwavering support, have won their campaign with an exemplary global agreement.  Our members have recovered $577,000 in unpaid wages and compensation for retaliation along with a binding code of conduct ensuring Flaum comports with all workplace rights going forward including anti-discrimination and health & safety protections. You can check out some of the press coverage on today's victory: New York Times: Kosher-Food Manufacturer to Pay $577,000 in Settlement Crain's New York: Settlement paves way for end of hummus boycott Jewish Daily Forward: Uri L'Tzedek Celebrates Flaums Victory For over a decade, workers at Flaum Appetizing worked grueling sixty to eighty hour work weeks without overtime pay and sometimes not even the minimum wage.  Latino workers were subjected to constant verbal harassment and forced to work at unsafe speeds.  Focus on the Food Chain, a joint project of Brandworkers and the NYC IWW, helped the workers launch a powerful campaign that persuaded over 120 grocery store locations to remove Flaum products from their shelves and convinced the world's largest kosher cheese company to stop using Flaum as a distributor until workers' rights were respected. In the process, Flaum workers won a precedent-setting victory at the Labor Board in D.C. helping workers nationwide fend off unfounded allegations into their immigration status. This global agreement, including over half a million dollars in recovered wealth, would not have been possible without your support. The Flaum workers have proven that all working people have the power to get organized, build their own campaigns, and successfully fight for dignity at work. Thank you for your solidarity and we look forward to continue working with you to create a sustainable food system that respects workers' human rights.
