Ethel Kennedy wants McDonald's to pay more for tomatoes

Posted on 04/24/2006 11:49:01 AM PDT by sufast

Ethel Kennedy was in Immokalee (Florida) yesterday in support of union efforts to get McDonald's to pay more for their tomatoes. As one worker said "We would be able to send that money to Mexico, because the'yre the people who really need it". So this guy didn't need the extra cash, the Mexican government does!

McDonalds have tomatoes? I just thought they were red colored balls of water with no taste.

Kennedy urges vegetable prices to go higher.
Doesn't Care about Poor Americans.

"Let them eat cake", says Ethel.

I think the widow Kennedy should be able to pay as much extra for tomatoes as she wants.

Don't they know that a hike in the cost of Tomatos may hurt the long time fortunes of Sen Kerry and his wofer, Theraaaaayza?

The more Kennedys I'd get to pelt with rotten tomatoes, the higher I'd pay!

Stupid worker. This is American, You're employer can charge what ever he likes for the produce you pick.

The trick is to get fake documents, get unionized, strike for higher wages, strike for paid heathcare and finally pick less produce.

Guaranteed to raise commodity prices.

Kennedy is stupid since McDonals either has its own farms or simply has long term contracts.

Its the mom and pop diner that will pay for the arrogance of democrats.

These are the same slimes who advocate mandatory wind power by scream like banshies when the towers can be viewed from the kennedy compound.

How much higher could prices go? I used to eat sliced tomatoes with almost every meal. It's already too expensive to do that.
