Four of the five major fast food chains have joined the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW)’s Fair Food Program. Who is the major holdout? Wendy’s, who has not only failed to join the program, but has actively chosen to move its tomato purchases out of Florida, where real changes are taking root. Since 2013, T’ruah has engaged with Wendy’s major shareholder, urging him to use his influence to bring Wendy’s into the Fair Food Program. Hundreds of Jewish students have written letters, visited Wendy’s store managers, and led protests.
How do you plan a Wendy’s delegation with your Hebrew school or congregation? This store visit guide will tell you what to do.
