Weve shared workers stories with you about the injured and sick cows at Darigold dairies. Sadly, these injuries also go for workers. Working with dairy cows is not easy. A dairy cow typically weighs 1,400 pounds-- almost 3/4 of a ton. As a live animal, it has a mind of its own and does what it wants. Working with these animals takes skills and knowledge. If youre not careful, you get injured. According to the Department of Labor, in 2012 at least 5.6% of dairy workers were injured, almost twice the average of 3.2% for private industry. All workers should receive adequate training, injured workers should receive prompt medical attention and should not have to be afraid of being fired for getting injured. These are basic rights, but rights not respected at every Darigold dairy. The Kroger Co. operates also under the following banners: Kroger, Ralphs, Dillons, Smiths, King Soopers, Frys, QFC, City Market, Owens, Jay C, Payless, Bakers, Gerbers, Scotts Food and Pharmacy, Harris Teeter, Food 4 Less, and Food Co. It is a major seller of Darigold milk. As a large retailer and someone who sells Darigold products, youd think theyd do something about whats going on. But they remain silent. Tell them to take responsibility for what is sold in their stores. Send your e-mail today.
