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:
