Line Clogging Demonstration At Golden Farm (Nov. 21)
On the busy day before Thanksgiving, activists demonstrated for union rights at Golden Farm grocery store in Brooklyn.
The owner of a YouTube channel called Matt H. posted this video yesterday of a direct action demonstration in support of employees, who want to unionise at the Golden Farm grocery store in Brooklyn.
On November 21, I stopped by a picket being held outside the Golden Farm grocery store on Church Ave and 4th St. The group was picketing in support of workers rights and union benefits. Their demands were : fair pay and compensation for when they made below minimum wage ; holidays off ; and personal days off. The majority of the time was spent with a picket outside the store. About 12 Minutes were spent inside the store doing what was called a "line clog." It was hilarious...
Among the activists, who took part in this demonstration, were members of OccuEvolve.
