Wendy’s Boycott. A farmworkers coalition from Florida has announced a national boycott of Wendy’s, the world’s third largest hamburger chain, for refusing to join their Fair Food program. Wendy’s is the last of the five major US fast food giants who has not signed on the social-responsibility code of conduct proposed by the labor group. This is the second time the coalition calls for a national boycott as part of their campaign for fair food.
Guests: Gerardo Reyes, Coordinator, Coalition of Immokalee Workers, Columbus, OH.
