The Krug Winery in St. Helena, CA, producing under the C.K. Mondavi and Krug labels, is attempting to destroy the last remaining union in Napa Valley wine country. After proposing pay cuts for many workers, owners Marc and Peter Mondavi on July 3 locked out the union workforce (United Food and Commercial Workers). For more information, see this news story, and this commentary by the union president. Also, read a report about this letter campaign!

Please send a letter to the Mondavis today!
