Reynolds has a monopoly on the procurement system, as well as the marketing and distribution of its products. Reynolds determines what price they pay farmers, and therefore the pay and conditions of field workers. This system with layers of subcontracts is designed to avoid responsibility for what happens down the procurement chain.

Changing this system will require Reynolds to change the way it does business. You can be part of this effort by joining us on May 6 to rally for justice in the tobacco fields.
