<p>Embattled Kosher Food Factory Faces Growing Retail Consensus on Workers' Rights Abuses<br />
<br />
New York, NY- Morton Williams, a well-known chain of twelve supermarkets, has discontinued the sale of Sonny &amp; Joe's hummus over concerns about workers' rights violations at Flaum Appetizing Corp., the Brooklyn-based producer and owner of the Sonny &amp; Joe's brand.&nbsp; Morton Williams joins a critical mass of prominent retailers including Fairway, Zabar's, and Food Emporium that have dropped Sonny &amp; Joe's hummus after immigrant workers began speaking out against pervasive wage theft, abusive management, and denial of benefits at Flaum.&nbsp; Workers are waging an energetic campaign with the Focus on the Food Chain initiative to bring Flaum Appetizing and its owner Moishe Grunhut into compliance with the rule of law and to recover illegally withheld compensation.&nbsp; 45 supermarket and grocery store locations have pulled Sonny &amp; Joe's hummus off the shelves amid the heated dispute over Flaum's lack of respect for immigrant workers.<br />
