The Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW), a Florida grassroots farmworker organization, and allies in Philadelphia and nationwide are celebrating a successful campaign against Aramark. The multinational food service company, based in Philadelphia, is the eighth company to agree to partner with the CIW to ensure fair wages and humane working conditions for Florida tomato pickers in their supply chain. The company bowed to the pressure of a growing nationwide campaign that included successful student organizing on numerous university campuses, weekly pickets at Aramark's corporate headquarters in Philadelphia and a rally and delegation to Aramark Headquarters lead by the CIW and United Workers last December. Local allies of the CIW who contributed to this win include Media Mobilizing Project, students at Penn, St. Joe's and Temple, The United Taxi Workers Alliance, Just Harvest and Student/ Farmworker Alliance.
