| If you look closely at the picture above, you’ll see in the lower left quadrant a copy of the CIW’s Quiznos Manager Letter… hung up, behind the counter of a Quiznos in McAllen, TX… by the manager… for his customers and crew to read and learn about conditions in the fields where Quiznos buys its tomatoes!
During Farmworker Awareness Week last week, members of the Student/Farmworker Alliance, Just Harvest USA and the RGV Fair Food Committee came together for a double weekend of actions that included rallies outside of Quiznos locations throughout McAllen, TX and a 7-mile bike ride, reporting:
This follows the report two weeks ago from the Denver Fair Food committee that a franchise owner in Quiznos’ corporate hometown, “surprised everyone by saying that not only did he fully support the idea of farmworkers receiving fair wages and working conditions but he actually spoke with Quiznos Headquarters and encouraged them to sign an agreement with the CIW.” Sounds like spreading protests by Fair Food communities across the country isn’t Quiznos’ only problem — they might just have a growing internal revolt on their hands, too… |
