Give the Gift of Smithfield Justice this Holiday Season!

As Thanksgiving, Hanukkah and Christmas fast approach, take a moment to do
something this holiday season to support the men and women who have been
fighting through threats, intimidation and brutal working conditions for
over a decade to win a voice on the job at Smithfield Foods in Tar Heel, NC.

Choose from these easy ideas to contribute to Smithfield Justice:

1) Treat your family to a Smithfield-free Holiday
>>> Stay away from Smithfield pork products that are packaged with abuse:
those with USDA Establishment Code 18079 or 79C correspond to the Tar Heel
plant. (Click  <http://ufcwaction.org/ct/F1aTFV61Mu9E/> here to see where to
look) 

2) Encourage others to have a Smithfield-free Holiday by hand-billing in
front of your neighborhood grocery store.

3) Send a holiday card encouraging Smithfield workers to keep up the fight!
>>> Cards can be mailed c/o
The Eastern North Carolina Workers Center
3450 Capuano Road 
Lumberton, NC 28358 

4) Donate money in any amount to the Smithfield Worker Justice Fund!
>>> The Fund is sponsored by Interfaith Worker Justice and all proceeds go
directly to Smithfield families in need
Contributions can be made online  <http://ufcwaction.org/ct/G1aTFV61Mu97/>
here. 

5) Tell Paula to drop Smithfield!
>>> Celebrity chef Paula Deen has sold her good name to Smithfield Foods to
help Smithfield present a wholesome, family-friendly image. 
>>> Go to  <http://ufcwaction.org/ct/GdaTFV61Mu9u/> Ask Paula and tell Ms.
Deen what you think of her support of Smithfield. Ask her to meet with the
suffering workers of Tar Heel! 

6) Become a Smithfield Sleuth!
>>> Follow our  <http://ufcwaction.org/ct/F1aTFV61Mu9E/> easy instructions
to find out if your grocer carries Smithfield Tar Heel pork. If you find the
problem pork, the instructions include an educational letter to your store
manager.

These are just a few things you can do this holiday season to help bring
peace and justice to Smithfield workers in Tar Heel, NC. 

Thank you for your on-going support!
