Dear John,
Arizona Iced Tea. Gatorade. Tropicana. BodyArmor Sports Drink.
What do all these drinks have in common? The workers who bottle them at the Refresco bottling plant in Wharton, NJ need your help getting a first union contract that protects their health and safety. Our allies at the National Council for Occupational Safety and Health have launched an online petition to support them — add your name today at https://workedup.us/
From inhumane long hours, to slippery floors and getting maimed by machinery, Refresco workers have experienced it all. For years, they have been fighting back — they’ve voted (twice!) to join UE. They’ve filed a series of OSHA complaints against the egregious violations at their plant. They successfully nominated Refresco as a 2022 Dirty Dozen company. And now they’re in active negotiations with Refresco corporate executives BUT they need your help.
Refresco needs to know that thousands of consumers have workers’ backs. Based on their past behavior, we expect the corporate team at Refresco to do everything they can to prevent their workers from winning a strong union contract. Add your name to the petition that will be shared with Refresco’s negotiating team so they know the public – the very people who buy Refresco’s drinks – demand workers’ safety: https://workedup.us/
