USA: Farmworkers protest & call on Wendy's to join Fair Food Program; incl. co. comment

"Farmworkers protest Wendy’s restaurants in Palm Beach," 2 Apr. 2022

Members of the Coalition of Immokalee Workers were joined by supporters in Palm Beach ... for a march protesting Wendy’s restaurants.

The group is protesting to urge Wendy's to join the Fair Food Program.

The Fair Food Program works with coalitions and advocates to support farmworkers in the supply chain by addressing issues like unfair wages, neglect, and sexual assault.

... "Our biggest push right now, is getting Wendy’s to publish and talk about where they are harvesting their tomatoes from," said [Coalition of Immokalee Workers' Natalia] Naranjo. "Trying to get a clear idea whether or not they do have these cases of abuse. Whether or not there are these cases of modern-day slavery within the fields they are purchasing from."

... In a written statement, Wendy’s told WPTV that they do not participate in the Fair Food Program, because there is no nexus between the program and their supply chain.

... "Wendy’s says they can't join the Fair Food Program because none of their current suppliers participate in the program, but that's just a dodge," said Yaissy Solis with the Alliance for Fair Food. "Wendy’s could either come back to their longtime Florida suppliers (who they abandoned back in 2015 precisely because those farms joined the FFP), or bring its current greenhouse suppliers into the Fair Food Program, either way would work. It's really very simple."
