Dear comrades, colleagues, supporters,
We would like to call for support for unionized agricultural workers in the region of Almeria (Andalusia in Spain). With a little research while shopping you can support the workers of the class struggle union SOC-SAT and the organization Interbrigadas.
Research when shopping for vegetables – this is how it works:
The next time you go shopping at Lidl, Aldi, ReWe and the other stores, go to the vegetable section and look at the labels on tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, eggplants and zucchinis. Look out for the companies BIOSABOR, CAMPOJOYMA, HACIENDASBIO and BIOSOL. These are all companies with organic certifications. If the origin is the Almeria region in Spain, make a note of the branch and day and send us a photo with this information to:
kontakt-gruene-gewerke[at]fau.org Subject: Trade union research or directly to the following Signal group
What do we do with the information?
With the information, we help local workers to better understand who benefits from their exploitation, who the buyers of the products are and where union pressure can be applied to fight the unsustainable working conditions on the local level. This should also be in the interest of all farmers and agricultural workers in Germany, as the prices from Almeria, which can be maintained through extreme exploitation of people, resources and the environment, also put pressure on sustainable and fair agriculture in Germany.
