CIW Solidarity Action

May 18, 2013. Louisvillians stood in solidarity with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers who are engaged in a campaign to urge the fast food chain Wendy’s to agree to the terms of the Fair Food Agreement. Those involved in the action here in Louisville not only took their message to the streets, but also into the Wendy’s located on the corner of Grinstead and Bardstown Rds, where they served management with information intended to be passed to higher management and ultimately to the CEO.
