…[The Florida Tomato Growers Exchange] will now let its tomato-grower members distribute to workers extra wages contributed by buyers...and establish guidelines for employment practices, said Reggie Brown, vice president of the [group]... Brown said fair wages and safe working conditions will help improve the lives of farm workers and their families. For years, the...Coalition of Immokalee Workers has tried to do that... Brown said the program was crafted with exchange customers such as McDonald's. That came as news to McDonald's spokeswoman Danya Proud, who said the company has and will continue to work with the coalition and to abide by their 2007 agreement... Unlike the coalition's [code]…, the growers didn't consult with the people the code would affect - a key weakness, coalition members say... [CIW] member Lucas Benitez [said] "…the growers' code leaves the foxes squarely in charge of the henhouse,...and sadly, Florida tomato growers have never demonstrated the ability to police themselves."
