Farmworkers from the the Coalition of Immokalee Workers rallied Thursday in front of Wendy’s corporate shareholders meeting in Manhattan to demand improved working conditions for those who pick its tomatoes. Human rights activist Kerry Kennedy, the daughter of the late Sen. Robert Kennedy, joined the farm workers’ protest.
Kerry Kennedy: “The CIW has signed agreements with four of the five largest food corporations in America to follow the food — the Fair Food Agreement. All five, except Wendy’s.”
