New Opportunity to Support Human Rights of Immigrants in Tennessee
What is happening: East Tennessee Jobs with Justice and Interfaith Worker Justice are happy to announce that people of good will in Tennessee now have an opportunity to stand in solidarity and communion with the low-wage Latino immigrants who are becoming such a key part of our local communities and our economy. Workers at a poultry processing plant operated by Koch Foods in Morristown, Tennessee, have begun taking a variety of courageous steps to speak out about abusive workplace practices and to bring their situation to the attention of the authorities, of management, and of the public at large.
Help put us in touch other people who need information or might want to help. We are building contact lists and brainstorming about people who might be able to play different roles and contribute different talents to this effort.
