Burger King vs. Tomato Pickers Rights
Did Burger King Target and Spy on Tomato Pickers Rights Groups?
In Florida, groups organizing for tomato pickers' rights say they might have been spied on and vilified online by the fast-food conglomerate Burger King. The Fort Myers News-Press traced threatening emails directed at the Coalition of Immokalee Workers and the Student/Farmworker Alliance to Burger King's corporate headquarters in Miami, Florida. We speak with the reporter who broke the story and with the coordinator of the Student/Farmworker Alliance who says he received a call from the owner of a private security company posing as a student.
