UNION PICKET

WILD OATS UNFAIR TO WORKERS

Wild Oats, the progressive natural foods store celebrates October as Fair Trade Coffee and Banana month. But, the reality is that Wild Oats is pathologically anti – union toward its own employees.

Wild Oats would rather close a store, fire a union delegate, and break Labor Board orders to cease and desist from interrogating and intimidating union supporters, than respect workers organizations in their own stores.

It’s not a coincidence that Wild Oats can support Fair Trade far away in a distant country and not honor those same conditions in their own backyard.

The Ohio Valley I.W.W. invites you to join us for the:

Wild Oats - Fair Banana - Fair Coffee - Unfair Labor Practices

Picket for Workers Rights

Saturday - October 23rd - 12noon - 3pm
