In unity,
Marianne Giordano
Executive Director/CFO
AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler and AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Fred Redmond released the following statement:
These horrific, disturbing allegations come as a deep shock to us. Our thoughts are first and foremost with any victims of assault and abuse who have described experiencing what no one—especially children—should ever have to survive. No legacy can excuse it.
The AFL-CIO unequivocally condemns the actions described in The New York Times article and supports a full investigation into these allegations. The AFL-CIO will not participate or endorse any upcoming activities for Cesar Chavez Day.
The AFL-CIO will always stand in solidarity with farmworkers who have fought for and won critical rights over generations through collective action, resilience and extraordinary determination—a history that cannot be erased by the horrific actions of one person. The labor movement was organized not only to protect workers’ paychecks and benefits, but also to ensure they are safe from any form of harassment, inappropriate conduct, or assault. Our commitment to safety and justice for farmworkers, immigrant workers and all in our workplaces will never waver. Statement online here.
All members of Local 30 are encouraged to attend these meetings to obtain current information on the business of the Union.
