Olives from Spain Returns to the USA With New Campaign, ‘Have an Olive Day,’ Delighting Attendees at Summer Fancy Food Show
NEW YORK, July 3, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Olives from Spain has launched “Have an Olive Day,” a new campaign for the US market. The campaign aims to encourage American consumers to “live every day as an olive day,” rediscovering the quality of Mediterranean olives and sharing in their versatility and variety.
To view the Multimedia News Release, please click: https://www.multivu.com/players/uk/8356551-olives-spain-return-to-usa-with-olive-day/
The recent Summer Fancy Food Show, held June 30 to July 2 in New York, provided the perfect opportunity to highlight table olives’ infinite gastronomic possibilities to consumers and professionals. Summer Fancy Food is one of the most important gastronomic fairs for the US’s HORECA sector (hotels, restaurants and caterings), with over 17,000 professional attendees each year.
During the three-day event, attendees were able to enjoy firsthand all the different tastes and varieties of European olives, with original dressings provided by chef Alberto Astudillo. Representatives of Olives from Spain delighted in sharing facts about different verities as well as providing ideas for traditional dishes featuring olives.
A TRADITION TO SHARE WITH THE WORLD
Each year, the US imports more than 155 million lbs of European olives, reaching more than 120 US markets. In fact, 95 percent of stuffed pimiento olives consumed by Americans come from Spain.
In spite of this, many consumers are unaware of the full gastronomic potential offered by olives. Thanks to their enormous variety and versatility, olives can be used to create all kinds of recipes, from the simplest appetizers to the most elaborate dishes.
Featuring the support of prestigious chef José Andrés and backed by an investment of 7.5 million euros over three years, the “Have an Olive Day” campaign aims to redefine American consumers’ ideas about olives, inspiring them to discover the culinary versatility that has made it a timeless staple of the Mediterranean diet.
JOSÉ ANDRÉS, THE PERFECT AMBASSADOR
Popular Spanish chef José Andrés is known as a “professional improviser” in the kitchen, a lover of olives and a faithful defender of the Mediterranean diet in the USA for more than 20 years. Throughout all this time, not only has he created and managed the some of the most successful restaurants, he has also become a well-known presenter of popular television programs, defending healthy foods and habits. This earned him a spot on the list of the 100 most influential people in the world in Time magazine in 2012 and 2018. In addition, Andrés has just been named Humanitarian of the Year by the James Beard Foundation.

Don’t Wait for the Flu to Hit: Prevention is Key
LEAWOOD, Kan., July 2, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — It starts off as a tiny sneeze, maybe a slight headache. The weather is changing, and, after all, you have allergies. You’re definitely not getting sick. But before you know it, you’re in bed with body aches so bad, it feels like you’ve been hit by a truck. And it happened so quickly. You have a temperature, and the last thing you want to do is eat.
This isn’t the transition to fall or the pollen: This is the flu, and it could have been prevented.
“The best way to fight the flu is with a flu shot, before you get sick,” said Michael Munger, MD, president of the American Academy of Family Physicians. “Remember, you don’t get the flu from the flu shot, and it’s one of the easiest ways you can keep you and your family healthy.”
The flu vaccine typically becomes available each fall before flu activity peaks, which is typically between December and February. But flu season can last as late as May, according to the CDC. Check with your family physician to see when you can come in for your flu shot, and all health care insurers even pay for it. If you don’t receive a flu shot in your doctor’s office, remember to let your doctor know where you received one.
“There are also other preventive measures you can take,” said Veronica Anwuri, MD, a family physician practicing in Kansas City, Missouri. “Always wash your hands with soap and water. And cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve, not your hands; eat well, and get plenty of rest.”
If your doctor diagnoses you with the flu, antiviral drugs are available by prescription that when taken quickly enough following onset, can help reduce flu symptoms and shorten the time you are sick. Other over-the-counter medications that can help include acetaminophen, which can reduce fever and help with the body aches. For children, Anwuri does not recommend nasal sprays or decongestants; the same advice goes for cough and cold medication, as there is little evidence that these are effective in treating children with the flu.
But, hopefully it doesn’t come to that: Remember, prevention is key, and the flu shot is the best way to keep you and your family healthy before flu season arrives.

Labor Commissioner Cites Farm Labor Contractor, Holds Growers Liable for Wage Theft Violations Affecting 1,374 Seasonal Workers
SAN BERNARDINO, California, July 2, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Labor Commissioner’s Office has issued wage theft citations to a large farm labor contracting operation for failing to timely provide 1,374 seasonal farmworkers their final pay. Vista Santa Rosa Inc. did not pay discharged workers on the last day of work as required by law, and the company consistently issued final paychecks at least 72 hours late. Both client employers and their labor suppliers are accountable for workplace labor law violations in California.
“Delaying final paychecks is wage theft and in this case, puts significant pressure on seasonal workers to abandon their pay or wait and jeopardize competitive job and lodging openings,” said Labor Commissioner Julie A. Su. “Bringing attention to this issue during the grape harvest should deter farm labor contractors and growers from this wage theft practice and help ensure their workers are paid on time.”
The Labor Commissioner’s Office launched an investigation in August 2016 after workers reported violations of late pay to California Rural Legal Assistance, a nonprofit that provides free legal services. The investigation identified $646,875 in waiting time penalties, of which $323,729 is due to 867 affected workers in 2016, and $323,145 is due to 864 workers in 2017.
Vista Santa Rosa Inc. hires and provides farmworkers to growers in the Coachella Valley region. In 2016, Vista was a sole-proprietorship owned and operated by Jose Luis Gomez Jr. In 2017 Gomez began doing business as Vista Santa Rosa Inc. Both Gomez and his successor company Vista share joint and several liability for the $646,875 in waiting time penalties.
California Labor Code section 2810.3 holds client employers – those that obtain or are provided workers from a subcontractor – responsible for their subcontractor’s workplace violations. Client employers also liable for Vista’s violations include:
- Brighton Distributing, Inc.
- Coachella Valley Ranch Development, Inc.
- East-West Unlimited, LLC
- Anthony Vineyards, Inc.
- Alexandra Dates, Inc.
- MICA, LLC
- The Wildwood Group, Inc.
- Sun World International, LLC
Final pay laws require all wages due to be paid on the last day at the time of separation. If a worker quits, final wages are due within 72 hours of the notice. Waiting time penalties are imposed when the employer intentionally fails to pay all wages due to the employee at the time of separation. This penalty is calculated by taking the employee’s daily rate of pay and multiplying it by the number of days the employee was not paid, up to a maximum of 30 days.
Enforcement investigations typically include a payroll audit of the previous three years to determine minimum wage, overtime and other labor law violations, and any payments owed and penalties due are calculated.
The Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, or the Labor Commissioner’s Office, is the division within the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) with wide-ranging enforcement responsibilities including adjudicating wage claims, inspecting workplaces for wage and hour violations, investigating retaliation complaints and educating the public on labor laws.
In 2014, Labor Commissioner Su launched the Wage Theft is a Crime multilingual public awareness campaign. The campaign defines wage theft and informs workers of their rights and the resources available to them to recover unpaid wages or report other labor law violations.
Employees with work-related questions or complaints may contact DIR’s Call Center in English or Spanish at 844-LABOR-DIR (844-522-6734).
Members of the press may contact Erika Monterroza or Frank Polizzi at (510) 286-1161, and are encouraged to subscribe to get email alerts on DIR’s press releases or other departmental updates.
