Letter: Hannaford should support farmworkers, join Milk With Dignity program

MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • April 24, 2022

We must consider the working conditions of those who bring us the dairy products we enjoy. Maine has a vibrant farming community, including hardworking migrant dairy farmworkers. The farmworker organization Migrant Justice is calling on Maine’s Hannaford Supermarkets to support the Milk With Dignity campaign. If Hannaford signed on, it would guarantee the dairy products in their stores, the ones we purchase, are from farms where basic human rights such as adequate housing, safe working conditions and fair pay are respected. ~ Mary Dunn, Whitefield
