Honestly, do we really have to wonder or question WHY ILLEGALS are WANTED IN THE USA BY BIG CORPS??? Do we really question what Bush means when he spits out......."They do jobs that Americans won't do?"

Well, would YOU work for this?

Support the Taco Bell Boycott
The Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) called off the Taco Bell boycott!

Just as the 2005 Taco Bell Truth tour was arriving in Louisville , Kentucky , home of Taco Bell's parent company. They've won EVERY demand made as a requirement for ending the boycott campaign, with a legally-binding document signed by Taco Bell. (Posted March 16, 2005)

Farmworkers picking tomatoes for Taco Bell's supplier, Six L's, Packing, Co., Inc., are paid 40 cents for every 32-pound bucket they pick. That is the same per bucket rate, or "piece rate", paid in 1978. At that rate, workers must pick and haul 2 TONS of tomatoes to make $50 in a day.

All this for no right to organize, no overtime pay, no health insurance, no sick leave, no paid holidays, no paid vacation, and no pension.

Taco Bell has refused to discuss these conditions with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, even though they could double the picking piece rate paid to farmworkers by agreeing to pay just one penny more per pound for the tomatoes it buys from Six L's.
