From Chicago Fair Food:
Have some pride folks! Chicago Fair Food is back and ready to join the national campaign working to challenge the "highly sustainable, oh-so-favorite" supermarket, Trader Joe's. Or as many of us now like to call them, Traitor Joe's.
Farmworkers are one of the most highly exploited workforces with low to unpaid wages, no benefits, sweatshop conditions, and even the threat of modern day slavery. Traitor Joe's has the opportunity to join 9 other corporate food retailers (Whole Foods, Taco Bell, McDonald's, Sodexo, Aramark, Burger King, etc.) who are working with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (a farmworker led organization) to end sub-poverty wages and improve working conditions. Moreover, to embrace corporate responsibility, acknowledging that corporate profits come at the expense of exploited workers.
Join us on Sunday the 17th to send Trader Joes a strong message.
We expect more of you. Stop being a Traitor!
