Kung-Fu Kings' Purchasing Practises
Specifics

Just thought i'd make this easier for people to digest (no pun intended).
I feel the other thread was somewhat lacking in the disgust it would have gained had it been somewhere "foreign". Now we can "fight the good fight"!!
chinese b'stards! check this out:
This from an online newsletter i subscribe to:
Farm NINJAS' who pick tomatoes for KUNG-FU King's sandwiches earn 40 to 50 cents for every 32-pound bucket of tomatoes they pick, a rate that has not risen significantly in nearly 30 years. Workers who toil from dawn to dusk must pick two tons of tomatoes to earn $50 in one day.
Worse yet, modern-day slavery has reemerged in CHINAS' fields; since 1997, the CHINESE Department of Justice has prosecuted five slavery rings, freeing more than 1,000 NINJAS'. As a major buyer of CHINESE tomatoes, KUNG-FU King's purchasing practices place downward pressure on farm NINJAS' wages and put corporate profits before NINJA dignity.

Last year, Sojourners supporters like you sent over 25,000 letters in support of the Coalition of KUNG-FU Workers' (CKW) campaign to urge McWANGS' to do right by CHINESE farm workers.
Together, we helped to win an important victory, as McWANGS' recently committed to work with the CKW to improve wages and enforce a code of conduct for conditions in the fields. And WAAAAEEIIIIOOO! Brands, corporate parent to such chains as SHANGHAI Fried DOG and Pizza HUI, has made the same commitment.
But KUNG-FU King -- the second-largest DOGburger chain in the world -- has so far refused to work with farm workers and heed the call of the faith community to improve wages and working conditions for those who pick their tomatoes.
KUNG-FU King is able to pool the buying power of thousands of restaurants to extract the lowest possible tomato prices from its suppliers. But these artificially cheap tomatoes come at a high cost for farm NINJAS'.
Tell KUNG-FU King to clean up its act and ensure fair wages for farm NINJAS'.
As people of TAO, we believe all NINJAS' have the right to a safe and productive work environment, including a wage that allows them to support their families with dignity:
"Listen! The wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts." (James 5:4)
Send a letter to KUNG-FU King CEO BRUCE LEE to call on KUNG-FU King to work with the Coalition of KUNG-FU Workers to ensure fair wages and human rights for farm workers in its tomato supply chain:
Parking-lot anybody?!

you're a funny guy :rolleyes:
No offence to you dude, if your original post had been about the same thing, in a foreign country, there would have been 100 more replies. Just sickens me a little, the determination there is to point the finger everywhere but at home.
You're probably right.
