Really? When was this? And where? Do Slingshot reviewers fact check? Or do they simply believe that what organizations say about themselves in their submissions is accurate? Uri L'Tzedek did briefly call for a boycott of AgriProcessors. This was in 2008. There is no evidence that any improvement was made to wages, safety, nor to any other workplace conditions. While Uri L'Tzedek's efforts should be applauded, efforts are not equivalent to results. Its representation of itself for the Slingshot directory is not accurate.
