TODAY AND FOR YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

>>> BEGINNING IN 2021, WORKERS HAVE GONE PUBLIC WITH COMPLAINTS ABOUT WORKING CONDITIONS AND LABOR VIOLATIONS INCLUDING CHARGES OF INTIMIDATION, HARASSMENT, AND RETALIATIONS.

THEY SAY IT IS A RAP ON THE CASE BETWEEN EL MILAGRO OWNERSHIP AND THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD.

A SETTLEMENT HAS BEEN REACHED AND THE COMPANY CANNOT INTERFERE WITH WORKERS ATTEMPTS TO WORK.

>> WHAT THE EL MILAGRO WORKERS WANT IS THE RECLAMATION ON THE PART OF THE COMPANY THAT THEY CAN ORGANIZE WITHOUT INTERFERENCE, WITHOUT BEING INTIMIDATED, WITHOUT THREATS , WITHOUT HAVING TO TALK ABOUT -- WHICH IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT EL MILAGRO WAS DOING.

THE COMPANY HAS TO READ A STATEMENT SAYING, YOU CAN ORGANIZE AND WE WILL NOT INTERRUPT YOU.

IT IS A BASIC RIGHT BUT EL MILAGRO HAD TO DO IT.

THIS IS WHAT WE, AS WORKERS, HAVE BEEN FIGHTING FOR.

THERE WERE DOUBTS ABOUT THIS.

YOU KNOW, IF I DO THIS, I'M GOING TO BE FIRED.

IF I DO THAT, I'M GOING TO BE REPRIMANDED.

I MEAN, FINALLY, DESPITE THE RESISTANCE OF EL MILAGRO AND THE ORGANIZING AROUND $2.2 MILLION IN WAGE INCREASES, SOME VIOLATIONS OF THE LAW WERE CORRECTED.

THERE ARE STILL CHARGES WITH THE OFFICE OF LABOR STATUSES IN CHICAGO WITH HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.

THERE IS A LAWSUIT FOR WORKER HARASSMENT.

THERE ARE MANY CONDITIONS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN SOLVED.

THE WORKERS ARE FEELING MORE ENCOURAGED TO FIGHT AGAINST THOSE ADVERSE WORKING CONDITIONS.
