Burger King Corp. says it is conducting an internal investigation into blog postings that criticize a Florida farmworker group, allegedly made by a top official using his young daughter’s screen name.
The Miami-based fast-food chain said it is also looking into e-mails apparently sent from its own server that were sympathetic to the group.
A newspaper said last week on that the blog postings were reportedly made by Stephen Grover, the No. 2 burger chain’s vice president for food safety, quality assurance and regulatory compliance. He has been a key part in the company’s feud with the farmworker group, the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, over improving work and wage conditions for tomato pickers.“*
