Ms. Foundation to Wendy’s: “Show the necessary leadership and sign a Fair
Food Agreement”…Today’s open letter to Wendy’s CEO Emil Brolick calls Fair Food Program “imperative to improving working conditions for women farmworkers who face sexual harassment and assault…”The Ms. Foundation for Women, the storied champion of women’s rights and a longtime supporter of the Fair Food movement, stepped into the ring today on the Wendy’s Campaign in a very public way. In a powerful letter to Wendy’s CEO, Emil Brolick, Ms. Foundation extolled the unprecedented advances in farmworker women’s rights sweeping through the tomato fields of Florida since the inception of the Fair Food Program three years ago. They also shared their disappointment with Wendy’s for refusing to recognize and support the “transformational change and improvement in the lives of women whose employers have adopted this agreement.” Here below is the letter in full: Emil J. Brolick |
This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager
