ASK WENDY'S TO HELP END SLAVERY IN FLORIDA'S TOMATO FIELDS
Wendy's: Sign the Fair Food Agreement and help end forced labor in the U.S. tomato industry.
Why is this important?
The Fair Food Program has made historic progress in tackling forced labour and exploitation on Florida’s tomato farms. A massive 90% of growers have already joined the Fair Food Program, an initiative with a proven track record in fighting modern slavery. And four of the five biggest U.S. fast food giants have signed the Fair Food Agreement, investing in the fight for a slavery-free agricultural industry.
But one company stands in the way of progress: Wendy’s refuses to ensure slavery is not in its supply chain. If Wendy’s follows the lead of McDonald's, Subway, Burger King and Taco Bell, their immense purchasing power could help bring the last 10% of farms to the table and ensure the tomato industry never sees another case of modern slavery.
Call on Wendy’s – the final fast food hold-out – to help end slavery forever in Florida’s tomato fields.
