Trader Joe’s signs on
To the Fair Food Agreement
By Culinate staff
February 13, 2012
It took ‘em a year and a half, but Trader Joe’s has finally agreed to sign the Fair Food Agreement. What’s that? It’s a document written by the Coalition of Immokalee Workers to help prevent Florida tomato pickers from being enslaved on the job.
As Barry Estabrook noted, several fast-food chains had signed the agreement, but the only grocery retailer to do so — until TJ’s signed on — was Whole Foods. Who’s the CIW’s next grocery target? According to the Huffington Post, the Publix chain is the next supermarket company in its sights.
