From Dairy Farmers of America

New owners of W&W Dairy, Monroe

To the Editor:

As part of Dairy Farmers of America’s (DFA) acquisition of the W&W Dairy manufacturing facility in Monroe, Wis., our goal has been to retain 100% of the W&W workforce and continue to expand it. DFA cares deeply about our employees, their families, and the communities that we are part of.

DFA takes compliance with state and federal labor laws very seriously and is committed to complying with federal employment eligibility requirements. As a federal contractor, DFA is further obligated to use E-verify across our national network of manufacturing plants.

As part of the hiring process, all W&W workers and other applicants have been notified of the need to provide documents to complete both an I-9 form and the E-verify process. In the event any applicant chooses not to provide the required documentation, or the E-verify process is not successfully completed, our ability to employ them will be impacted.

As a new member of the Monroe community, it is our intention to demonstrate how we have earned a reputation of being a good neighbor and employer of choice.
