Rev. Sekinah Hamlin, UCC: “We also know that before U.S. Customs and Border Protection put a hold on tomatoes from some Mexican farms, Mastronardi, a supplier for Wendy’s, purchased and imported some of the ill-gotten tomatoes. Yet, Wendy’s will not give any definitive statement that these tomatoes did not make it to their stores. The Fair Food Program would put a stop to such secrecy. We will not stop until Peltz and Wendy’s do the moral thing and join like the other major fast-food chains…”
WLRN, South Florida’s NPR station: “Wendy’s could bring their food operations into the Fair Food Program, which would urge Wendy’s to purchase tomatoes from growers who follow strict working standards…”
The unforgettable March to End [[link removed]] [[link removed]] Modern [[link removed]] [[link removed]] Slavery in the Fields [[link removed]] is still making waves in the news! Hundreds of farmworkers and consumers sent an unequivocal message to Wendy’s Board Chair Nelson Peltz on April 2: The disturbing modern-day slavery crisis happening right now in North American agriculture can only be tackled by worker-driven solutions like the Fair Food Program, and Wendy’s indefensible decision to stand alone as the only major fast-food chain not to participate in the Fair Food Program will no longer be tolerated!
That very message reverberated through the streets of Palm Beach during last week’s epic march, and has since echoed in newspapers and on the airwaves, across the country [[link removed]] and even overseas [[link removed]] , to reach millions more consumers. Today on the CIW site, we bring you highlights from three articles that have emerged since the march, as well as a new photo gallery from the March. Please keep the momentum going by sharing news of the March to End Modern Slavery in the Fields in your networks!
