Mid afternoon on December 16, protestors handed out fliers and asked shoppers at Harris-teeter on Glebe Road in Ballston, VA not to buy their house brand hams as they are supplied by Smithfield,where workers are losing limbs to safety violations at the Tar Heel plant in North Carolina, a notorious anti-union state.
The previous week,a few activists visited the same Harris-Teeter grocery and spoke to a manager, who stated that Smithfield's union-busting and horrific injury rate "doesn't sound like United States in 2006."
