The Milk with Dignity campaign is moving forward! Farmworkers’ next planned action is a full-day picket of Hannaford Supermarkets on May 1st, International Workers’ Day. Dairy workers and allies will picket the Hannaford in Williston, VT from open to close, urging consumers not to shop there in solidarity with workers’ demands for Milk with Dignity.

We recently announced major news in the Milk with Dignity campaign. A delegation traveled to the Netherlands – home of Hannaford’s parent company Ahold Delhaize – to submit an international human rights complaint with the Dutch government and participate in the company’s shareholder meeting. In response, the grocery chain offered a meeting to open a dialogue about Milk with Dignity and announced an independent investigation into conditions in its dairy supply chain…

These steps would not have been possible without years of persistent campaigning. Farmworkers have courageously exposed abuses on farms supplying Hannaford-brand milk and tirelessly called on the company to stop those abuses by joining the Milk with Dignity Program. The campaign will continue with an all-day action on 5/1 outside the Williston Hannaford Supermarket with a clear message to consumers: Don’t cross the picket line! Don’t shop at Hannaford!...
