The United States Student Association and Youth Empowered in Struggle joined the striking workers in distributing information about the dispute Sunday at the Middleton branch of Costco, which is the largest retailer of Palermo products in the country. 

The National AFL-CIO and the United Steelworkers have also thrown their support behind the strike. The workers plan to continue leafleting Palermo retailers to encourage customers to boycott the products.

Riverwest Co-op in Milwaukee has stopped carrying Palermo products to show solidarity with the striking workers.
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has postponed indefinitely a vote scheduled for July 27 that would have decided whether Palermo Villa Inc. employees would form a union while it investigates accusations of unfair labor practices against the company.
