Solidarity Actions for non-local Organizing Campaign
In support of: Workers in Barkhamsted, CT attempting to unionize under UFCW.

Yet a handful of workers at a Dollar General store in Barkhamsted, Connecticut, are pushing to change that, with a union election scheduled for 22 October to join the United Food and Commercial Workers Union (UFCW).
