Challenging a boycott launched by Florida tomato pickers nearly two years ago, the hamburger chain Wendy’s is refusing to sign an agreement to help combat sexual harassment and increase wages for farmworkers.

(Español) Concluido el ayuno inició la marcha, que incluyó a trabajadores, estudiantes, religiosos, deportistas y una banda de metales y tambores.

(Español) “La negativa de Wendy’s a unirse al Programa de Alimentos Justos de la CIW para asegurar que los trabajadores agrícolas que recogen sus alimentos dejen de ser violados y abusados ​​en los campos, es reprensible”.

The Coalition of Immokalee Workers says the hamburger chain is the only one of the five biggest fast-food giants that refused to sign the recognized Fair Food Agreement, and instead, decided to look for tomato providers in Mexico. Marco Vinicio González reports from the protest organized by the Coalition in New York.

For more than four years, the main shareholder of the fast food chain Wendy’s has refused to sign the Fair Food Program with Florida tomato pickers.
