PLEASE Stand With the Sugar Workers, Your Support Will Be Appreciated..
For generations, the sugar beet industry has been the lifeblood of Northwest Minnesota’s Red River Valley.
Sugar workers have always stood shoulder to shoulder with American Crystal Sugar and farmers to protect and advance the sugar industry.
Together, the workers, company and growers have helped to build the local economy, support families, and made communities flourish.
Now, American Crystal has put all of this in jeopardy by locking out it's workers, due to Corporate Greediness.

Don't turn your back on the community!

Prior to the American Crystal Sugar ockout, the Union's Highly Skilled Sugar Processing Technician Workers made net profits of over 3.1 billion dollars, during each of the last four years for the Company, before the Union Workers were locked out by the American Crystal Sugar Company..
As a result, Dave Berg, CEO for American Crystal Sugar, has increased his pay to over 2.4 million dollars, a year, at the Union Worker's Expense, while pretending to save the Company money..
The other upper management people, at American Crystal Sugar's Corporate Office, have aslo increased their yearly pay, at the Union Worker's Expense..
This Union lockout has cost the American Crystal Sugar Company many millions of dollars, due to many Rail Road cars full of unfit sugar being made, by non union, inexperienced workers, that did not meet specification standards for large industry customers, resulting in contracts being unfulfilled and lost..
American Crystal Sugar Company, is a co op owned by the farmers who grow the sugar beets for processing into sugar, that have been taking a loss on their beet crop payments, due to inefficient sugar processing by unskilled, non union workers..

Workday Minnesota coverage of the lockout at American Crystal Sugar.
More than 1,300 workers at American Crystal Sugar facilities in Minnesota, North Dakota and Iowa have been locked out of their jobs since Aug. 1. 2011.
They have helped make Crystal Sugar the largest and most profitable producer of sugar from beets in the United States, but the company is seeking to undercut their wages, benefits and job security.

PLEASE Call American Crystal Sugar to Stop the Lockout
CALL 1-218-236-4400 and tell American Crystal Sugar's CEO, Dave Berg not to turn his back on workers and the community.
Here are some talking points to use during your call:
- My name is ______ and I'd like to share consumer feedback about your company.
- As a consumer who cares about the way a company treats its workers, I was disappointed to hear that American Crystal Sugar has locked out its employees in the Midwest.
- You are a profitable, successful company, and there's no excuse to squeeze your workers so hard when they are just asking for a fair deal for themselves and their families.
- I urge you to immediately end the company's strike against your workers and meet with their union representatives to negotiate, in good faith, a fair and equitable collective bargaining agreement.
- Thank you.
