Not really. I live in the area of a Cargill plant that shut down today to honor the protest. What is funny is the Mexicans that work there apparently decided to go shopping. I saw several at the local Dollar General and about town. I guess the boycott part didn't filter down to the ranks.
Same observation here. I made it a point to run errands/spend money today, and there were plenty of Hispanic shoppers out.
I just checked the "official Live Thread" listing the companies that supported the shut down. Cargill is there and I was surprised to learn from Mr. Prairiebreeze that Cargill actually led the pack last week with a press release announcing they were supporting the no-work day.
That's very un-Cargillesque...they usually play their cards a lot closer to the vest. There isn't any official press release on their website that I've been able to find.
Mr. Prairie speculated they may have come out first with the announcement last week in order to move the commodities markets...
