The United Farm Workers Union is calling for a boycott of Gallo wines to protest lack of progress in contract negotiations for vineyard workers in Sonoma, California. The union wants medical and dental benefits, vacations and paid holidays for the workers. Talks between the United Farm Workers Union and Gallo are set to resume Thursday.
