Standing up in power's face! GO UNION!
Dear Supporters,

Smithfield workers need your help NOW!

As we speak, workers at Smithfield's plant in Tar Heel, N.C.,
are walking out of the plant in a spontaneous protest against
Smithfield's abuse and intimidation after the company retaliated
against workers standing up for their rights and demanding a
voice on the job.

http://ufcwaction.org/campaign/workers_walk_out

Please, help spread the word and demand Justice at Smithfield
right now by sending a letter to Smithfield Chairman of the
Board Joseph Luter III and Smithfield CEO C. Larry Pope,
demanding them to stop the intimidation and abuse in the Tar
Heel plant. You can also call the plant directly to express
support for the workers by demanding an end to the abuse without
retaliation against workers.

We must show Smithfield that the whole world is watching and we
will not tolerate its abuse and intimidation against workers.

Smithfield must respect the rights of workers!
Smithfield must stop the abuse in Tar Heel!
Smithfield Must not Retaliate!
Your support RIGHT NOW is greatly needed! Please tell everyone
you know to contact Smithfield and stand up for the rights of
workers.

Contact Smithfield's Tar Heel plant by phone: 757-365-3000 or
888-366-6767 or send the email letter at:
http://ufcwaction.org/campaign/workers_walk_out

You can take action on this alert either via email (please see
directions below) or via the web at:
http://ufcwaction.org/campaign/workers_walk_out/5nxnb5427ejidt?

Visit the web address below to tell your friends about this.

We encourage you to take action by March 16, 2007
