Dairy Division to focus on organizing within TNC’s

The Dairy Division Coordinating Group met in San Francisco, California, on October 3&4 to discuss strategies to defend rights and organize more workers under the Fair Deal For Dairy Workers initiative.

While maintaining our goal of achieving 100% organized sites in Danone and Fonterra, the Dairy Division also decided to build an organizing alliance of affiliates in Saputo, Nestle and Arla.

Schreiber,a growing company and an important manufacturer of supermarket brands is also an organizing target.

The Dairy Division will maintain and update its database on union organization within TNC’s and work with affiliates to identify opportunities for union growth.
