She has not been reappointed. Arnold is not helping at all. We can further discuss this in the Fast4Education thread cause I don't wanna hijack this one. I bet it'll be a nice disc. Thanks

Everyone should not only boycott "Gallo of Sonoma" but all Gallo wines. Gallo is one of the largest wine producers in the US, if not the Largest. Gallo of Sonoma is their "elite" or better wine label (probably not top of the line, but they market it that way) Its basically a secondary label for the Gallo family.

I dont drink Gallo wines anyway, but thats just me.

You may have noticed the change in the title of this thread. The Agricultural Job Opportunity, Benefits, and Security Act of 2003, also known as AgJOBS, S.1645, might be voted on by the senate, and UFW is now asking everyone to send letters/e-mails asking the "decision maker" to support the bill in the senate, if and when it is voted on. Send your e-mail, if you have not already sent one, at http://www.unionvoice.org/campaign/AgJobsDOD/step1.tcl. Thanks.

JOIN THE NEW GALLO BOYCOTT: SIGN THE PETITION TODAY!

The United Farm Workers invites people of good will to join our second boycott of Gallo wine in 32 years. Hundreds of farm workers and supporters are kicking off the new international boycott of Gallo wine June 14 on the steps of San Francisco City Hall.

Together we will convince America's wealthiest wine making family to do the responsible thing by stopping the exploitation of their workers.

The Gallos deny the majority of their farm workers benefits and grievance rights. The Gallos abuse, cheat and deny these workers benefits, job protections and humane living conditions in the heart of California's fabled wine country.

The Gallos say they have no responsibility for the miserable conditions endured by their vineyard employees because they are "temporary workers"

Through this boycott, people of goodwill can have a say. "No Gallo!"

Please sign the petition informing the Gallos of your decision to join the boycott. And pass it on to your friends.
