Take Action: Chipotle, how about some integrity for Florida's farmworkers?

Chipotle, how about some integrity for Florida's farmworkers?

For decades, Florida's farmworkers have faced terrible abuses and brutal exploitation. Workers earn sub-poverty wages for toiling 60-70 hours per week, and some have even been chained to poles, locked inside trucks, beaten, and robbed of their pay.

Chipotle, the country's fastest-growing fast food chain, claims to serve "food with integrity." But the company has turned its back on farmworkers demanding a lasting commitment to ending the brutal exploitation in Florida's fields.

Tell Chipotle's CEO Steve Ells that it's time to stand up for real "food with integrity" and demand an end to horrific working conditions.

Subject:

Dear Mr. Ells,

(Edit Letter Below)

The Florida farmworkers who pick winter tomatoes have one of the worst jobs in America, with sub-poverty wages, back-breaking labor, and unimaginable exploitation. According to court documents in a recent forced-labor case, workers were chained to poles, locked inside trucks, beaten, and robbed of their pay. This was the seventh of these cases in just over 10 years, which together have involved well over 1,000 workers.

You have the power to do something about this. But in spite of your company's "food with integrity" pledge condemning the "exploitation of animals, farmers, or the environment," you have refused to sign an agreement with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers to define industry-leading standards for farmworker rights.

Chipotle's behavior falls short even when compared to its mainstream rivals in the fast-food industry, like Taco Bell, Burger King, and McDonald's. I urge you to sign an agreement with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers and stand up for true "Food With Integrity."
