Report from ActionLA: "Taco Bell" campaign gaining momentum.
Would you be willing to pay 1/4 of 1 penny more for your
Taco Bell chalupa if it meant that Florida and California farmworkers
who pick tomatoes and other farm products for Taco Bell and other
restaurants could earn a living wage?
http://www.actionla.org/NoTacoBell/article.htm
excellent background story by L.A.-based activist, Scott Sink
excerpt: The average farm worker being 21 years old, retirement
in this industry is virtually unheard of. Nicolas remarks that he
makes about $8,000 a year, before taxes. "The government is on my
back, and the [big-bellied contractors] won't give me anything."
"It really concerns me that I'm not going to be able to retire."
Nicolas remarks that he make about $8,000 a year, before taxes.
Living wage for immigrant workers! No immigrant bashing! Support
farm workers' rights! then... Boycott Taco Bell National campaign
to support Florida migrant workers
