A Mother's Day to remember!

Mother’s Day of Solidarity
South Florida Mothers
Stand with Colombian Flower Workers!

BECAUSE COLOMBIAN FLOWER WORKERS:

  • Are often fired or do not have their contracts renewed if they become pregnant while employed,
  • Can work up to 80 hours per week without overtime pay,
  • Earn less than $180 per month-not nearly enough to support their families,

THEY HAVE FORMED the first independent and democratic union at the Dole-owned Splendor plantation.

JOIN US:
Friday May 12th
12pm-2pm
Dole Fresh Flowers
10055 NW 12th St, Miami, FL
(Park close to NW 12th Street at International Mall)
Splendor plantation.


Join South Florida mothers in front of Dole’s Headquarters as we show our support for Colombian flower workers and mothers.
