Asking for “1 cent more per pound,” dozens of tomato pickers from Imokolee, their families, local community members and more than 60 Unitarian Universalists from across the state picketed on the sidewalk along U.S. 41 South in front of the Charlotte Harbor Publix on Saturday. The picket was an effort to urge Publix to join the Fair Food Program, which is a partnership among farmworkers, tomato growers and food retailers to improve the wages and work conditions of Florida tomato harvesters.
