sent a letter to Driscoll`s
March 24, 2015 Mr. Miles Reitner, CEO Driscoll’s 345 Westridge Drive Watsonville, CA 95076-‐4169 Dear Mr. Reitner: I am enclosing a letter signed by nearly 10,000 consumers asking Driscoll’s to suspend buying berries from Sakuma Brother’s Berry Farm in Burlington, Washington until farm owners and farmworkers negotiate a fair contact. As you are undoubtedly aware, farmworkers have been asking for a fair contract covering wages and conditions for several years now. Because of Sakuma Brothers’ owners unwillingness to negotiate a fair contact, workers have called for a boycott of these berries. Driscoll’s is one of Sakuma Brothers’ largest buyers and you have the ability to insist on a fair contract for farmworkers before you continue to purchase berries from this farm. Given your commitment to community and sustainability, this should be standard practice. The consumers who have signed the attached letter are not only expressing concern and solidarity for farmworkers, they are pledging to boycott all berries sold under the Driscoll’s brand until this is resolved. If you act now, a fair contract can be in place before the coming harvest season. This will ensure no further interruption of business to Driscoll’s or Sakuma Brothers and more importantly ensure decent jobs for hundreds of farmworkers whose tireless work contributes to the ability of consumers to enjoy fresh berries year round. On behalf of Fair World Project and thousands of concerned consumers, I look forward to your response by April 15, 2015. Thank you, Kerstin Lindgren Campaign Director Fair World Project Fair World Project is a non-‐profit organization whose mission is to promote organic and fair trade practices and transparent third-‐party certification of producers, manufacturers and products, domestically and abroad.

FWP publishes a bi-‐annual publication entitled For a Better World. For more information, visit: http://www.fairworldproject.org. March 24, 2015 Driscoll’s 345 Westridge Drive Watsonville, CA 95076-‐4169 Dear Driscoll's: We are deeply troubled by your partnership with Sakuma Brother's Farm in Washington State. For several years Familias Unidas por la Justicia has been attempting to negotiate a fair and legally binding contract with Sakuma Brother's that protects their basic rights and provides fair wages. Their situation is so dire they have been forced to call for a boycott and at the same time you have increased purchases from them. The new growing season is coming up and we are writing to ask that you terminate your purchases from Sakuma Brothers until they in good faith negotiate a legally binding contract and Familias Unidas por la Justicia calls an end to the boycott. Although we appreciate the opportunity to purchase fresh berries year-‐round from a trusted brand, we will not continue to support Driscoll's if you continue to support farmworker abuse. Please see attached for the names and comments of nearly 10,000 concerned consumers.

But that will stop is you continue to use products from Sakuma. Its only fair. We reap as we sow. So sad to hear that Driscoll purchases berries from Sakuma Brother's, a company that refuses to negotiate fair wages for their workers. Until that happens, I will no longer purchase Driscoll products. I buy Driscoll brand organic berries from whole foods. I believe that an important part of the organic movement is the fair compensation of the workers whose labor actually gets the products to us consumers. How can one enjoy or support a product when workers are being exploited? I have seen Driscoll berries in stores all over the world. With that sort of volume, the cost per berry would be too small to effect marketing. Why should anyone be suffering in such a successful enterprise?

Honor Labor! I buy lots of your fruit. I guess I will have to look elsewere. Everyone deserves fair wages for fair work and humane working conditions! Do the right thing, Driscoll's!!! Be advised I will no longer buy your products! Supporting Sakuma is supporting the slavery of their workers! Almost all the berries I buy are from Driscoll's, but if the workers at Sakuma aren't treated fairly, I won't be buying anymore. Please take a stand. We are deeply troubled by your partnership with Sakuma Brother's Farm in Washington State. Does Sakuma remember what happened to their Japanese ancestors during World War II? Now are they doing the same thing to their workers? Everyone deserves a fair price for the work that they perform. It is one of the original statutes which has made this country as great as it is. While we do have our problems, situations like this can and should be alleviated by arbitration within the company itself. When the Co is not willing to arbitrate, it is only fair the workers have the right to ask to go beyond normal channels. Therefore, all they are asking is a temporary show of support. I believe we owe it to them. 118 Consumers Asking Driscoll's to Insist on a Fair Contract for Farmworkers at Sakuma Brothers Farms Dicron Karen Cathy Diane Melanie Margaret Nalei Naomi Jahnavi Leslie Joy Meneshian Liao Wootan Hardee Pasinski Mew Kahakalau Turbidy Stenflo Mercer Halpern CT CA OH WA NY CA HI MA CO CA WA Nancy Alaina Lawrence Deborah Judy Crystal marie Art Dudley Teresa Corinne Dave Mike Harlow Johnson East Walsh Pearson Wolf lucius Jessee Delany Fletcher Monk Carlson Paturel CO NY NC MN TN NM WY OR PA OR OH MN AB Nancy Andrea stephanie Frances steve Elizabeth Juskowich Smith hylton Cruz adler Bartlett PA OK WA PR IL TX Michael Jan McMahan Sappington CA MO Liz judith Janet Darcie Guy Lena C Janet Nancy Peter J Maureen Buckalew dove Zampieri Anderson Lawson Lurie Seuss Louk Jacques Cragg Seuss Cox VI MD AZ MN CO ON NY CA WA TX NY TX www.fairworldproject.org NO MORE DIRTY AGRICULTURE!!!

Farm labor is the most difficult labor, with the possible exception of underground mining, in the some of the very wealthiest most world. It is hard to believe that greedy CEO's want the farm laborers to work for literally no money, no benefits and worst of all, no respect. This is very, very bad Karma for corporation leaders who are guilty of this. They will find out the hard way, due to their savage greed, that bad Karma never forgets.

And had no benefits other than lots of overtime. But I was treated like dirt by the managers and most employees. Everyone was, it was an extremely unhappy place to spend 14 long hours. -‐ It's not right that they must work without a contract, these people work hard, I know they do. And they're doing a job that no one else wants. They deserve better. -‐ Treat your employees the way you'd like to be treated, with respect. And they will respect you in return. Never forget -‐ people with something to work for, tend to work harder and faster. You should keep that in mind next time your making cuts to pay. Another case of anything for a buck. When will these people learn that attitude is neanderthal? Anyway, just another case of someone being wrong ... and refusing to budge simply because they'll make less money (they think) if they can browbeat their employees into working for next to nothing. jacqueline Cindy Diana STEVE Michelle Bill Dolores Sean Elliot Theresa David Laura Jeffrey Amanda Peter J.

I regularly purchase Driscoll berries but will now honor the Sakuma Brothers farmworkers' request and boycott Driscoll berries until OCA tells me that you are no longer selling Sakuma Brothers berries. 221 Consumers Asking Driscoll's to Insist on a Fair Contract for Farmworkers at Sakuma Brothers Farms Kathy Kathryn G Bonita Jamie Donna Kim Mallory Allison Sera Rachel Guidi Moore Hardiman Rose Papandrea Lozano Eckrote Morken Meyer Cook Winograd CA WI GA MI NY TX IL DC MN MA PA Lisa Dharmesh Joan Lindsay aura Mary Joy Middeke Mandalia Lemont Mahony lane Cousineau Schochet MO CA OR WA CA MN IL Robin David Ronald Brent Y Addie Ryan Catherine Sekerak Gardner Martin Harrison Lucas Lloyd Pottinger FL CA GA WA FL AL WA Kristina Brian debra Amy Consuelo Terry Priscilla Jim renzi Janet Jane Andreas Mike Sally Julie karen Katarina Anne Megan Long Fink poscharscky Olsson Valenzuela Poplawski Kramer Altree vb Marchione Fox Brongkoll Roberts Bianco Swensgard teeple Parker Hutson Stark CA OH OR NC CA CA OH CO NY CT MT FL ot CA AZ PA MA TX NE www.fairworldproject.org Pay people a fair wage for the work they do!

Not to provide these to workers is inhumane and unconscionable. support fair labor Stop buying berries from Sakuma Brothers until the negotiate a fair contract with Familias Unidas por la Justicia.

Having read how your suppliers treat their workers, that will be the last time I buy anything from your company until the situation improves for the workers. I will also tell the manager at Whole Foods why I am no longer buying them. I vote with my wallet. I live in the same county. They have gotten away with lots of bad treatment of the workers. I purchase Driscoll berries, well until now I did, won't anymore until these workers are compensated fairly and their fair requests are honored! I buy lots of berries from Driscoll's. But am going to stop now based on this. I will share this with my FB friends. i live in an ag area. Our workers need to make a living wage.... BE FAIR OR PICK YOUR OWN BERRIES do the right thing.

We have Driscoll's strawberries at our local market in Surrey, B,C. I will not buy them now!Regards R.Ross I buy their organic berries regularly but will boycott them now until I hear or read Driscoll has boycotted Sakuma. As a customer who has favored Driscoll berries when purchasing in the grocery store, I must regretfully say, Ican no longer purchase them until the Sakuma farm gives its workers a proper contract Equal rights for all. Treat others as you would be treated! 227
