Nubia's plea: No one should die like Randy. Sign my petition to Darigold
http://action.ufw.org/page/s/nubiasplea
My name is Nubia Guajardo and on February 25th I lost the love of my life, and the father of my children. Recently the UFW shared with all of you the story of the tragic death of my love Randy Vasquez, who died drowned in a manure pond at Riverview Dairy, which provides milk to Darigold, located in Mabton, (eastern) WA.
Can you imagine how awful it was to explain Randy’s death to my children? Neither Darigold, nor the farm owner have reached out to me or the UFW after Randy drowned. I want to make sure that no other family has to endure the pain of losing their loved one.
Darigold and their farms claim to take pride nurturing families around the world with the milk and dairy products they produce. I would like for them to take the same pride to secure the safe and healthy working conditions of those who make their products possible. Please help me ask Darigold's CEO for a meeting by signing this petition today!

Petition: Meet with the UFW about dairy worker safety
The UFW has provided you with evidence of the various issues going on at many of your dairy member farms and you have done nothing. What else is it going to take besides Randy drowning in a manure pit for you to stop ignoring these issues? Please work with the UFW to ensure this doesn’t happen again.
