| Sample Letter for Campaign |
Subject: Stop Using Pictsweet Mushrooms
Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,
I am writing to ask Pizza Hut to stop buying mushrooms for your pizzas from Pictsweet Mushrooms. Workers at Pictsweet in Ventura, California, suffer low pay, bad benefits and, most of all, unsafe working conditions. Conditions at Pictsweet in Ventura are cruel and dangerous. Mushroom workers labor in dark and damp rooms. Floors are slippery. Only the lights on their helmets guide the mushroom workers. Workers have complained that over time the lack of proper lighting has caused their vision to deteriorate. These deplorable conditions reflect badly on Pizza Hut as a major customer of Pictsweet.
Because of these conditions, workers are asking customers to stop buying Pictsweet mushrooms. I ask you to join major supermarkets like Vons, Safeway and Ralphs and keep Pictsweet mushrooms off Pizza Hut's pizzas until the workers' demands are met.
I will boycott Pictsweet-brand mushrooms and frozen vegetables and encourage my family and friends to do the same until Pictsweet workers in Ventura win better pay, better benefits and safe working conditions.
Sincerely,
|

Mushroom workers at Pictsweet Mushrooms in Ventura, Calif., have been trying for years to win fair pay, benefits and, most of all, safe working conditions. Conditions at Pictsweet in Ventura are cruel and dangerous. Mushroom workers labor in dark and damp rooms. Floors are slippery. Only the lights on their helmets guide the mushroom workers. Workers have complained that over time the lack of proper lighting has caused their vision to deteriorate.
Because of these conditions, workers are asking customers to stop buying Pictsweet mushrooms. Pictsweet has lost many major customers including Vons, Safeway and Ralphs supermarkets which are honoring the workers' requests..
You can help. Pizza Hut is one of Pictsweet's largest customers and has refused to do the right thing by keeping Pictsweet mushrooms off its pizzas until Pictsweet signs a union contract and workers win safe and healthy jobs and better pay.
Send a fax to Pizza Hut and tell them to stop using Pictsweet Mushrooms.
