Don’t eat Stella D’oro cookies
Published Dec 22, 2008 6:53 PM
On Dec. 20 in Bronx, N.Y., striking bakery workers and their supporters
chanted “Stop Scab, Scab, Scab!” on the picketline. The strikers,
many of them immigrants from Latin America and Africa, are calling for a
boycott of Stella D’oro cookies. The new owners, Brynwood Partners, are
demanding drastic concessions from the workers who have been on strike since
Aug. 13. Supporters including the Million Worker March, May 1st Coalition for
Immigrant and Worker Rights, Professional Staff Congress and Bail Out the
People Movement presented the workers hundreds of dollars in donations.
