Tell McDonald's to Support Fair Wages & Treatment for Farm Workers
Farmworkers who pick tomatoes for the fast food industry are among this country’s most exploited workers: subpoverty wages, no rights to form unions, no benefits of any kind.
McDonald’s can make a huge difference in the lives of these workers in its supply chain – but so far has refused.
Enough is enough. Sign the petition below to demand McDonald’s implement fair wages and real rights for workers.

Subject: Real rights & fair wages
Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,
I am writing to urge you to improve the wages and working conditions of the farmworkers who pick tomatoes in McDonald's supply chain. I call on you to work directly with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers to:
1. Pay a penny more per pound for the tomatoes McDonald's buys and ensure the increase is passed along to tomato pickers in the form of increased wages.
2. Establish an enforceable code of conduct to ensure fair and safe working conditions for these workers.
The Coalition of Immokalee Workers created a strong model when it reached a similar model with Taco Bell. By working directly with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, you have the opportunity to ensure the same kind of dignity for the tomato pickers in your supply chain.
As a consumer who cares about the way companies treat its workers, I look forward to McDonald's making a profound and lasting contribution to workers' rights.
