NC State A.F.L. – C.I.O.

Call-to-Action!

Act now for farm workers.

FLOC has tried over two years now to get Reynolds American to improve the conditions of tobacco harvesters in the fields of the South.

Betsy Atkins is a board member at Reynolds, but despite her encouragement, Reynolds CEO, Susan Ivey, still refuses any dialogue with FLOC about the terrible conditions under which tobacco harvesters labor.

Tell Betsy Atkins to resign.

Atkins also sits on the board of Chico’s, a woman’s clothing retailer committed to ethical sourcing. We believe Atkins commitment doesn’t end when she puts on her Reynolds hat. Her resignation would signal in concrete terms her commitment to ethical sourcing and for justice for farm workers.
