While global food giants like Yum Brands -- parent company of Taco Bell, KFC, and Pizza Hut -- rake in massive profits, farmworkers labor long hours every day for rock-bottom wages. These Workers have no healthcare and no overtime pay. Yet, these food giants drive prices lower and lower, forcing growers to reduce their only elastic variable -- farmworkers' salaries and benefits. To earn just $50 in a day, a farmworker must pick two tons of tomatoes. The Coalition of Immokalee Workers, a community based farmworker group in Florida, demands that pickers be paid one penny more per pound of tomatoes, a modest measure that would almost double the Workers' daily pay! Those who grow and labor for our food deserve to make a living wage that allows them to see a doctor when they need to, live in adequate housing, and send their children to school! Tell Yum Brands (which owns Taco Bell, KFC, and Pizza Hut) to pay farmworkers ONE PENNY MORE for their backbreaking labor! Take Action ...

The Finance Ministry should immediately announce that landless Farm Workers in all villages of India will be covered by this loan waiver. Such (…) - April 19, 2008 ...
