FLOC 2011
In May 2011, the Farm Labor Organizing Committee (FLOC) staged a demonstration, march and rally in Winston-Salem, NC to promote the rights and welfare of tobacco workers. The events took place outside the annual Reynolds American shareholders' meeting.
A major goal was to pressure Reynold's into discussing with FLOC its responsibility for the human rights of farm workers in its supply chain.
Photos from the event are on my website and on the FLOC website.
