Burger King weighs move from Florida tomatoes - By Doug Ohlemeier, The Packer, KS
A letter from Burger King warning that it may not buy tomatoes from Immokalee, Fla., — an area where a workers’ union has demanded fast-food companies to pay a penny a pound more for tomatoes — has stirred uneasiness among Florida growers.
Miami-based Burger King Corp. denies the Dec. 18 letter was linked the workers’ wage issue.
The letter, sent to tomato suppliers, requests they develop and submit to the fast-food chain “contingency plans for the possibility that we would choose not to purchase tomatoes grown on farms in the Immokalee, Florida, region.”------------------------------------------- posted 6:45 AM :: reference link ::
