Bill and Melinda Gates' charitable foundation is refusing to negotiate a labor contract. They're the largest share holder in Pacific Ethanol LLC, which employs all of 27 people. The United Steelworkers is representing the workers, and wrote the billionaires asking them to get their charitable foundation to act charitably toward the workers. But Bill and Melinda haven't bothered to reply. The 27 workers have been harassed and intimidated by Pacific Ethanol since December when they started trying to negotiate a labor agreement. If you want to encourage Bill and Melinda to act charitably, you can send them a note: media@gatesfoundation.org.
