Laborers start week of protests against McDonald’s in Florida

“The same group of farm workers that succeeded in a boycott against Taco Bell in 2005 is now targeting McDonald’s, and their first protest was under the golden arches on Northwest 13th Street.

On Sunday, more than 50 members of the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, an organization of Florida farm laborers, demanded increased wages for workers who pick tomatoes for McDonald’s.”
