Dear Sukuma Brothers,

As you may already know, since this is regarding your workers and this is a huge problem that is starting to pick up a lot of attention. The many hard-working people working in your field, picking fruit day in and day out working in the hot sun and or inside a big manufacturing building are getting severely underpaid while working in horrible conditions. Where is the justice in that? Yet many of these workers are undocumented doesn’t make it them any less human. They have rights and are worth something just like everyone else in this world. While trying to find a solution for all of this is tough which I understand but certainly not impossible. Many of these workers have created a union and have began protesting just about everywhere tying to make a difference while putting immense pressure your company to sign a contract allowing union representation for seasonal Farmworkers. I believe with more and more pressure to you; the workers will succeed. They’ve already started a union called Familias Unidas Por La Justicia meaning Families United for Justice. When protesting this union really makes sure to emphasize everything that you guys do. For example, exploiting how in justice it is paying only 28 cents a pound but selling it for $4 a pound which is absurd. I feel like these workers aren’t asking for much for they should have already been provided with good working conditions, better pay, and overall have their products affordable toe everyone rather than racking up the price so much. And if your main concern is that these people are undocumented then don’t hire them in the first place, find other people who are documented and are willing to work in your conditions.
