This Saturday, Join the Harris Teeter Day of Action

This weekend, you can help the Justice at Smithfield campaign win justice for the workers at the Smithfield pork-packing plant in Tar Heel, North Carolina by joining their Harris Teeter Day of Action.

The Harris Teeter supermarket chain serves six states -- and in its stores, it carries Smithfield pork products from Tar Heel, where the working conditions are so bad that the employees say the company cares more about the pigs than it does about them.

Those workers are asking Harris Teeter to stop carrying Smithfield's "packaged with abuse" Tar Heel products, and you can help by joining them this Saturday as they demonstrate in front of Harris Teeter stores in 16 cities.

If you live in or near one of the following cities, you can help:

NORTH CAROLINA

  • Asheville
  • Chapel Hill
  • Charlotte
  • Durham
  • Fayetteville
  • Greensboro
  • Hickory
  • High Point
  • Raleigh
  • Rocky Mount
  • Wilmington
  • Winston-Salem

SOUTH CAROLINA

  • Florence

TENNESSEE
