Tell Quiznos to Be Bold and Say No to Slave-Picked Produce
The Issue
Toasty sub shop Quiznos is the latest fast food chain to become the targets of the Coalition of Immakolee Worker's Campaign for Fair Food. The campaign asks companies from fast food restaurant chains to grocery stores to take three critical steps in preventing human trafficking and labor exploitation in agriculture. Companies who sign onto the campaign agree to pay a penny more per pound of tomatoes purchased and ensure that money goes directly to the men and women who pick the tomatoes. They also must create a code of conduct prohibiting slavery and labor exploitation, which also applies to their suppliers. And finally, they agree to involve the workers in the process of preventing abuse and making tomatoes fairer. These steps may seem minor, but they go a long way in preventing human trafficking in agriculture in the U.S. Yet while Taco Bell, Subway, McDonald's, and other fast food chains have stepped up to prevent trafficking, Quiznos keeps stalling.
Ask Quiznos to be bold and stand against human trafficking and farm worker exploitation by signing agreeing to sell fair food.
