Garden of Eden picket
The Garden of Eden grocery chain opened a new store on Broadway near 106th Street in Manhattan in December. Half a dozen members of United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 1500 have been leafleting outside asking people not to shop at the nonunion store. The leaflet reads: “The New Garden of Eden is attempting to lower the standard of living in the West Side community by: not providing workers with union scale wages; not providing affordable health insurance; subjecting workers to poor working conditions through fierce management tactics.” The leaflet calls for a boycott of Garden of Eden.

Need ‘Militant’ in prison
I am a young Black man at the super max federal penitentiary at Florence, Colorado. I’m writing to request issues of the Militant newspaper. Please add my name to your mailing list. I look forward and hope to receive them in the mail soon. I have been locked up 21 years. The Militant surely would come in handy.
