07 Jun 4 Ways to Support the #IFFStrike
On June 4th, nearly 200 members of BCTGM Local 390G went on strike against International Flavors and Fragrances (IFF) in Memphis, Tenn.
The workers produce soy protein products which are used by companies including Nestle, Nestle Purina and Abbott Nutrition to manufacture baby formula, pet foods, soy-based nutritional powders and other food and beverage products. They are on strike because the company refuses to bargain in good faith for a fair contract. It is demanding to strip workers of overtime after 8 hours and make unilateral changes to the workers’ health insurance without any discussion or sufficient notice.
Here are FOUR ways you can help BCTGM Local 390G HOLD THE LINE:
1) Join the picket line or drop off food/drinks/supplies.
Workers have a picket set up outside of their workplace:
4272 South Mendenhall Rd., Memphis, Tenn.
2) Email IFF CEO & Board of Directors
Tell them to get back to the table and bargain in good faith!
3) Donate to their Strike Fund
The Strike Fund is helping workers meet basic needs and supply their strike line so they can remain steadfast in their mission for a fair contract.
