Statement by Kerry Kennedy on the Immokalee Workers-McDonald’s Agreement [USA]

This past Monday, McDonald’s set a resounding example agreeing to the international human rights principles laid out by the CIW [Coalition of Immokalee Workers]... Now it is time for Burger King, Subway, Wal-mart and others in the retail food industry to acknowledge their responsibilities... The Coalition of Immokalee Workers'...corporate partnerships are grounded in three internationally recognized human rights principles. First, we all share the right against slavery and forced labor... Everyone has a human right to just working conditions... Finally employees and their representatives...have a right to participate with corporations in determining and implementing methods to fulfill human rights responsibilities in corporate supply chains. [also refers to Yum! Brands]
