THEY NEED YOUR HELP!
A nation-wide boycott is being conducted against
DiGiorgio products. S & W Foods warehouses are being
closed down in Caiifornia and New England by large groups
of pickets with the suppat of Teamsters! unions.
The midwest distribution center for DiGiorgio products
is here in Chicago. It is crucial that it be closed down
temporarily to show PiGiorgio the strength of supp@t for
the strike. The Teamsters have indicated willingness to
respect picket*lines at the warehouse. Whether they do or
mot mey be contingent upon the force of our picket line.
The warehouse 4s located at 3350 N. Kedzié, one block
north of Belmont and the JFK Expressway. On Monday, May 23,
1966, at 7:00 AM, people from all parts of the city will
meet at the S & W warehouse for a mass demonstration-picket.
; The most effective sid you can give the strikers is to be
there,
B oyecott and consumer picketing will eontinve until
‘the strike 1s WON. To help, contact the strike coordinator
on your campus, call Harry Johnson at 939-2794, or writ
