BOYCOTT EATON'S

EATON'S SELLS SCABBY PRODUCTS

Since March 23rd, 38 women of UNITE local 1764 in Trenton have been on strike against JB Fields', the maker of Eaton's house brand of socks. The company is cutting the wages of its women workers from $12/hr to $7.07/hr. While the company claims this is only a minimum and that wages can go up to $10.45/hr if certain onerous production targets are met these targets are impossible and realistically all the women would end up making the $7.07 minimum. Meanwhile, 12 men working at the plant have had their wages cut from $14.45/hr to $13/hr without a quota requirement (the men, and several women have been crossing the line).

Eaton's is one of JB Field's biggest customers and is helping the company break the strike by buying and selling its scab-produced goods.

Please help the women of UNITE 1764 Boycott Eaton's! Do not shop there until Eaton's Canada agrees to stop carrying J.B. Fields' products while that company refuses to come to a fair settlement with its workers.
