Yeah, I get a lot of emails about gallo from the UFW. I don't drink wine anyway, so it's not hard for me to boycott. :lol: But yeah, plenty of emails about messed up comapanies mistreating farm workers.

Si se puede!

The United Farm Workers invites people of good will to join our second boycott of Gallo wine in 32 years. Hundreds of farm workers and supporters were there to kick off the new international boycott of Gallo wine June 14 on the steps of San Francisco City Hall.

Together we will convince America's wealthiest wine making family to do the responsible thing by stopping the exploitation of their workers.

The Gallos deny the majority of their farm workers benefits and grievance rights. The Gallos abuse, cheat and deny these workers benefits, job protections and humane living conditions in the heart of California's fabled wine country.

The Gallos say they have no responsibility for the miserable conditions endured by their vineyard employees because they are "temporary workers".

i fill up vending machines at a gallo bottling facility in chicago, and saw a person taking a smoke break and got fired because he had taken 5 smoke breaks in 3 hours.... i dont think they was anything wrong with that.
