Demanding
back
pay and a union contract for Golden Farm workers, fistfuls of supporters
picketed Golden Farm Wednesday, Thanksgiving Eve, on one of the busier
grocery
shopping days of the year. It is thanks to the community boycott,
organizers
claim, that Golden Farm owner Sonny Kim has recently agreed to pay
employees (a
pittance) of the back pay he acknowledges owing them in a signed
settlement. But without a union contract between Mr. Kim and the Retail, Wholesale Department Store Union, United Food
and Commercial Workers (RWDSU/UFCW) to protect them, his workers could be fired—
back
pay or no.
