Dear Sirs,

I am disappointed to hear that you are in a labor dispute with the Teamsters union in the United States at your Chehalis facilities that process peas, carrots, corn and other vegetables for international customers.

We are very concerned to hear that the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries is investigating complaints of numerous state and national child labor violations at National Frozen Foods' facilities in Chehalis, Washington, USA. These complaints include working minors through the night, using minors to operate machinery, denying minors legally mandated meal breaks and forcing minors to work at work stations prohibited by child labor laws.

We hope that you are working hard to resolve the situation. Please keep us informed of the progress of both the labor dispute and the child labor charges.

Sincerely,
