ite aie ete ee an . id Tt is now time for a new offensive against Dow Chemical and this time the workers are Teading it. In the past we have always known Jow as an oppressor of: PMthe consumer - We are continually deluged with mronaganda to package . everythine anain and aqain. mevar victims - Dow supnlie: the U.S. Qenartment of Defense with napalm, defoliants and other agents used in chemical warfare. WBird world peorles - Hiehly noisonous herbicides and insecticides are sald on the onen market in Latin America without the safety precautions indicated on the tabel as is required for the same nroducts when sold in the' U.,o. FEE the environment - Dow produces hiahly nollutant plastics and pesticides. Khow we discover that in addition to these offenses acainst the neonle, Dow Chemi- cai is a leader in the oppression of micrant farm workers. 17,900 acres of lettuce owned by Row and operated by Dud Antte, Inc. have been struck by farm workers seek- ing decent wanes and working conditions as wel] as protection fro7™ dangerous oesti- cides, Antle is the world's second larnest lettuce shinper: Dow -roduces many of the deadly pesticides the farm workers want outlawed or nut under control. This produces a powerful bloc with which to break a strike amonc onor farm workers. Dow provides Antle with all his wranners, boxes, and chemica’s and Tots of money. As a result Dow virtually controls Antle. To break the farm workers' strike, Antle secured an injunction to prohibit the — union, the United farm Workers Oraanizin= Committee, from nicketting, leafletting, or talking to his emoloyees. A similar injunction nrohibits the union from boycott- tna Bud Antle products and in fact orders Cesar Chavez, union director, to public- ly announce that meonle should buy Bud Antle products. Chavez has refused and so has been summoned to court December 4th to show cause why he should not immediately be imorisoned for contemnt of court. Dow has created a showdown with the farm workers who are trying to defend their richts as men. They are-readv. Sumnort the farm workers in their liberation struaole against carnorate aari-business.
