Ask Safeway to Help Blue Diamond Workers
Blue Diamond runs the world’s largest almond processing plant and produces almonds for our snacks, cereal, and candy. They also have produced a self-described “aggressive union-avoidance campaign” against their workers who are simply trying to form a union to improve their wages and working conditions.
Tell one of Blue Diamond’s biggest customers to ask the company to play sweet. Ask the supermarket chain Safeway to demand Blue Diamond quit its tricks and pledge to not interfere with its employees' union organizing efforts!

Subject: Blue Diamond workers need your help
Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,
Blue Diamond runs the world's largest almond processing plant and produces almonds sold on your store shelves. They also have produced a self-described "aggressive union-avoidance campaign" against their workers who are simply trying to form a union to improve their wages and working conditions. Earlier this year, the company was found guilty of threatening, disciplining, intimidating, and firing pro-union workers. Now they face hearings on new charges for the same type of labor law violations.
As a union employer, your workers have a process to negotiate and work out your differences. The hard-working men and women workers employed by Blue Diamond in California do not.
Please speak up for them - let Blue Diamond know you won't tolerate this sort of abuse from your suppliers! Ask Blue Diamond to play fair, treat its workers right, and pledge to remain neutral and not interfere with its employees' organizing efforts.
Thank you.
