Palermo's Pizza Boycott

Since my family became aware of the attack on Palermo's, our grocery shopping has included Palermo's frozen pizza.

Yes, we have gone out of our way to select Palermo's to show our support. And, we like the pizza.

Such is the backlash from the Left's lame strike and boycott.

I recognize some of those letters. I think I saw the "COTT" on a bridge over I-43 about a month ago. Yes! It was part of "RECALL SCOTT!" Well. That was convenient for Voces de la Frontera.

It's mind-boggling that they're targeting Palermo's, a business in the city of Milwaukee providing good, stable jobs to the people the organization claims to represent.

Palermo's is being persecuted by these radical Leftists.

During the past couple of weeks, a campaign of misinformation intended to generate ill will and punitive action against Palermo’s, its employees and customers has been initiated by a small group of activists.

The group has manufactured controversy where none existed in a shameful attempt to manipulate our employees into harming the company.

Palermo’s was contacted by U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) and asked to submit employee I9 forms for an audit. We complied with their request as we would with any state or federal agency. After its review, ICE alerted us to the fact that some of our employees needed to re-validate the information they provided us when they were hired.

Although Palermo’s is a third party to this federal action, the company took steps to help ensure that the resources employees needed to quickly remedy their individual situations were made available to them.

The activists took this as an opportunity to use our employees for their own gain and have been publicly accusing the company of unfair labor practices; a stunning deception that is false on every level. Especially egregious is their allegation that Palermo’s took retaliatory action against employees attempting to organize.

At no time in the company’s history have complaints of this nature been voiced, and we are proud of the family atmosphere we’ve been able to create—largely due to our talented and loyal employees.

It is our hope that all of our employees will be able to return to work. We want them here and value the contributions they’ve made. Until that time we will continue to communicate the truth about the baseless accusations currently being made, and defend the company by all legal means necessary.

Palermo's is a classic immigrant success story.

Read about its history.

I don't think this boycott will succeed, just like the idiotic recall did not succeed.

Johnsville was targeted last year. How did that work out?

IT DIDN'T.

The Left's tactics don't work, not anymore.

If Palermo's employees are so unhappy there, let them try to find a good job elsewhere.

If Leftists are staging a boycott, that's my signal to buy.

BUY PALERMO'S.

Didn't think so.
