We've seen all of @Wendys pitiful PR tweets, but we aren't letting them control the narrative. Here's why you should still #BoycottWendys: (thread) https://t.co/dMjYTDXMI1
Could @Wendys also test paying farmworkers in their supply chain more for their labor or is it just about extracting as much profit from the working class as possible?
Wendy’s will start experimenting with surge pricing in 2025, along the lines of Uber and Lyft.
Wendy’s will test “dynamic pricing” on burgers, Frosties, and other menu items, which will cost more during times of increased demand.

If you want to help change this, you can call your state reps and ask them to support the FABRIC Act, new federal legislation aimed at stopping the piecework system. Also, help spread awareness about this bill through social media.

@dieworkwear@thenation I would love to see the garment industry implementing a program based on the @WSRNetwork model of worker-driven social responsibility

Calling all members of the Fair Food Nation! Nov 18-22, take action to demand justice for farmworkers by contacting Kroger and demanding the grocery giant join the Fair Food Program!
Here are five ways you can engage Kroger!
What kind of social compliance audit would overlook this list of abuses? @Kroger, you cannot continue to claim to care about workers' human rights while report after report expose the reality of exploitation in your supply chain. https://t.co/SUjQt66DK2
All of Kroger's suppliers are subjected to social compliance audits. The Kroger Social Responsibility Audit is designed to examine the following areas of concern: 3/4
.@kroger caught again buying from farms with extreme exploitation, this time from a farm in CO where for nearly 20 years, farm bosses stole wages from migrant employees and violated federal labor laws. Now is the time Kroger, join the @FairFoodProgram
https://t.co/QuqnLUEvPz
.@kroger now is the time to stand on the right side of history. Join the @FairFoodProgram to safeguard the basic human rights of the farmworkers who harvest the food on your shelves make your profits possible.
@ciw Farmworkers are asking for your solidarity to pressure Kroger to join the Fair Food Program. How? Send an email to Kroger executives using the script provided by the CIW (https://t.co/A6S49YrhKh) or your own language. (6/9)
Kroger has a modern-day slavery problem.
Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Labor revealed that Kroger was buying and selling produce harvested by modern-day slaves.
But you can stand with farmworkers trying to end this forced labor. Thread.
@kroger claims that their suppliers are subject to audits, but then how did their auditors miss that workers in their supply chain were held captive in modern slavery? https://t.co/sTiQgpDzKS

Today is the day: Let @kroger know that slavery is wrong and we won't let them continue their silence about forced labor in their supply chain! https://t.co/aB4dThyIPg
We are just two days away from the call-in day of Sep 27, when the Fair Food Nation will call on Kroger to demand they join the Presidential Medal-winning @FairFoodProgram in light of well-documented cases of modern-day slavery in Kroger’s supply chain.

If that's true, why did the @USDOL name you as a buyer of forced labor-made watermelons earlier this year? Why didn't your vendor code of conduct prevent that? https://t.co/EYYipfg9i2
@LorberphotoCar As a responsible business, Kroger has a long history of respecting human rights for workers in our operations & global supply chain. We expect all suppliers to adhere to our Vendor Code of Conduct & put management systems in place to manage labor risks in their supply chains. 1/4
“I’ve learned about the abuses that happen to workers, but I’ve also learned that there’s a solution that works: the @FairFoodProgram that’s being replicated around the country.
Students will keep going for a #FairFoodFuture til we win”
-Annabelle Chapman, @floridastatesfa
Freedom from forced labor, gun violence, and sexual assault. Shade, water, and toilets when working in the farm fields. Pay for hours worked. These are the protections and rights @CIW workers enforce under @FairFoodProgram Human Rights worthy of a 50-mile march. #fairfoodfuture
Check out this article I wrote for @fightbacknews about Florida State University's recent student senate resolution recognizing the work of our SFA chapter, @floridastatesfa, and encouraging students to boycott @Wendys!
FSU students fight for farmworker rights — On July 20, the student government of Florida State University passed Resolution 45 in what comes as a major victory in the national Boycott Wendy’s campaign.
