<DIV></DIV>>>Hello, </P></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>>
<DIV></DIV>>>We would like to thank for your continued support of Shaw's/Star
<DIV></DIV>>>Market
<DIV></DIV>>>workers efforts to organize. As many of you know, Shaw's/Star
<DIV></DIV>>>Market is
<DIV></DIV>>>owned by British multi-national corporation, J. Sainsbury. We would
<DIV></DIV>>>like to
<DIV></DIV>>>ensure that the British headquarters is aware of the U.S. labor
<DIV></DIV>>>violations
<DIV></DIV>>>its U.S. subsidiary, Shaw's/Star Market, has committed. A formal
<DIV></DIV>>>complaint
<DIV></DIV>>>against the company was issued on October 26, 2001 by the National
<DIV></DIV>>>Labor
<DIV></DIV>>>Relations Board, an agency of the federal government.
<DIV></DIV>>>
<DIV></DIV>>>We are asking members of the community to e-mail J. Sainsbury's to
<DIV></DIV>>>request
<DIV></DIV>>>that they follow the laws that so many U.S. workers have fought to
<DIV></DIV>>>achieve
<DIV></DIV>>>over the years protecting our right to organize.
<DIV></DIV>>>
