Today in Miami, the Coalition of Immokalee Workers and their allies will deliver over 75,000 petitions to Burger King's headquarters. The signatures are a call on the fast-food giant to work with the CIW to eliminate modern-day slavery and human rights abuses from Florida’s fields. The CIW hopes that this delivery will bring Burger King one step closer to the negotiating table for the fair wages and safe working conditions. Ironically, today's petition delivery is happening in the midsts of news that the vice president of Burger King, Steve Grover was directly involved in a smear campaign against the Coalition.
