CIW
Action Alert: Contact
McDonald's, Burger King, and Subway today to ask that
they follow Taco Bell's lead, meet with the CIW, and
help end human rights abuses in their supply chain!
The victory in the Taco Bell Boycott established several
key new principles that, taken together, represent a
significant step toward social responsibility in the
fast-food industry. But Taco Bell is only one major
buyer among many, and the impact of its commitment to
those new principles will fall only on those workers
who pick tomatoes for Taco Bell.
