The Farm Labor Organizing Committee (FLOC) is asking supporters to join them this weekend for actions at Kangaroo stores in Raleigh and Chapel Hill. For more than 5 years, the union has been urging Reynolds American tobacco to negotiate with the exploited farm workers who make their immense profits. Kangaroo makes nearly a third of their money from tobacco sales. Contact Justin Flores of FLOC at jflores@floc.com or (704) 577-3480 for more information.
