  Sat Feb 11, 2:00 P- Support the Golden Farm Workers!
  @ Golden Farm MAP!
  329 Church Avenue
  Brooklyn, NY  
  Workers at this Kensington institution have reported working 72 hours a week for weekly wages ranging from $350 - $450, below the legal minimum wage, and without any benefits. Working conditions are often difficult: lack of proper working equipment, exposure to extreme temperatures, heavy lifting, poor sanitation.
  
  Workers are suing to recover hundreds of thousands of dollars in back pay and to win a contract that will guarantee them such basic benefits as paid vacation days, sick days, protection from arbitrary dismissal, a grievance procedure, and raises.
  
  As a result of worker legal action and intervention by the Department of Labor and NY Attorney General, the owner recently began paying workers minimum wage. However, the workers are owed back pay and need basic benefits. But most of all workers are organizing for RESPECT, DIGNITY and FAIR AND JUST WORKING CONDITIONS.
  
  THE GOLDEN FARM WORKERS NEED YOUR SUPPORT: CALL MR. SONNY KIM at (718) 871-1009 and tell him you support the Golden Farm workers and their right to fair wages, improved working conditions and back pay owed.
