The Associated Students of UCLA voted
to end Taco Bell's contract this past Friday (10/22),
following a strong showing of student support for
the respect of human rights on UCLA campus (including
the "tomato bucket race" pictured here,
where students participate in a Social Justice Alliance
event raising student awareness about the conditions
in Florida's tomato fields.)
Check out the latest articles from the UCLA "Daily
Bruin" by clicking on the links below:
Workers picking tomatoes in Immokalee -- at virtually
the same per bucket piece rate since 1978, with
no right to overtime, no right to organize, and
no benefits of any kind -- congratulate the students
and administration at UCLA for their commitment
to human rights and to Fair Trade principles. That
commitment has made UCLA a leader in the fight against
sweatshops overseas and, now, against sweatshops
in this country's fields.
