Boycott Windmill Mushrooms!

For over 2 years, workers at a mushroom facility in Sunnyside, WA, now owned by Windmill Mushroom Farm, have been fighting for union recognition. Under Washington State Law, agricultural workers are excluded from the right to organize and there is no legal mechanism to force companies to recognize labor unions regardless of the wishes of a majority of the workforce. Many pro-union workers at Windmill Mushrooms have faced adverse actions, including terminations and conditions that have pressured them to leave their jobs. As such, after repeated demonstrations, petitions, and other demands for union recognition, the United Farm Workers is announcing its first official boycott of the decade against Windmill Mushrooms, until the company agrees to recognize the union.
