The Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW), based in Florida has called for a nation-wide boycott of Taco Bell, following more than a year of denied requests for dialaogue with Taco Bell to discuss mean to improve the working conditions and pay-rates of the workers who provide Taco Bell with Tomatoes. The intent of the action is to raise awareness about the sweatshop-like conditions Immokalee farmworkers work under and to send a strong message to the Taco Bell Corporation, which needs take steps towards transforming the exploitative labor conditions where their tomatoes are produced.

For more information regarding the Taco Bell Boycott, contact the CIW website www.ciw-online.org

We are a collective of OC organizers that is working with the various local organizations to carry out a national boycott against Taco Bell, owned by Tricon, the largest fast food system in the world. We are part of a grassroots movement working in solidarity with the farm workers directly exploited by Taco Bell, who have formed the Coalition of Immokalee Workers. We are demanding that Taco Bell pay one cent more per pound of tomatoes in order to double the salaries (currently at sub-poverty level) of workers in Immokalee, Florida.
