what it's like to work as a tomato picker in Florida
The work is really hard and painful. They usually work in horrible conditions and for little pay.
the problem with buying tomatoes from Trader Joe's
Trader Joe's has refused to boycott companies that make it possible for these conditions to continue. The workers would like one cent more per bucket of tomatoes.
what we can do about it
We can boycott Trader Joe's and write letter to the CEO. It's not fair for working people to earn less than minimum wage.

Un Centavo Más!

Working as a tomato picker in Florida is very difficult. Not only do these people work for long hours, but they are also mistreated. For every 32 lb. bucket of tomatoes they pick, they only receive 50 cents.

The problem with buying tomatoes from Trader Joe's, is that the C.I.W is trying to form an agreement with them to make them buy their tomatoes for one cent per lb, to help the Immokalee workers in Florida.

The workers in Florida have to face extreme injustices. When Trader Joe's was asked to pay only one more cent for the tomates they buy they refused. Done y sostena la causa!!!

¿Porque?

Los imigrantes de Florida trabajan muy duro (quizas mas duro que el Americano). Pero los trabajadores ganan 50¢ for 30 libras de tomates. Muchos son obligados a trabajar, con menos del salario minimo . Es in-humano!!

¿Porque Trader Joe’s?

Trader Joe’s contratan a los trabajadores y los trata mal.

¿Como podemos ayudar?

Paren de comprar tomates de Trader Joes.

Ayuden a la protestar.

¡Mostren apoyo!

¡Manden letras al central de Trader Joe’s!

Why?

The migrant workers in Florida work EXTREMELY hard (maybe even harder than your average American). However, they only make 50¢ for every 32 pounds of tomatoes. They are often threatened and forced to work but do NOT receive minimum wage. Thats in-humane!!

Why Trader Joe’s

Trader Joe’s are the ones who are hiring these migrant workers and treating them so poorly.

How Can We Help?:

STOP buying tomatoes from Trader Joe’s!!

Help protest!

Show your support!
