Over the course of the past six years, while Publix has turned its back on the thousands of farmworkers and allies who have long stood by the CIW demanding that the South's largest grocery chain make a verifiable commitment to the farmworkers who make its profits possible, at least three separate federal investigations for human rights violations have taken place in its Florida tomato supply chain. All the while, Publix, unbothered and unaccountable to any of these abuses, cashes in the profits of "doing business as usual" with growers like Red Diamond and stocking their shelves with exploitation-tainted produce. And given that Publix has refused time and time again to join the Fair Food Program, this time around is no different.

Victor Diaz is a dairy worker and leader of the Vermont based human rights organization Migrant Justice. Victor became a community leader after his wages were stolen on a Vermont dairy farm where he lived in a run down camper with a leaky roof and no running water. He organized his co-workers to stand up to their abusive employer--demanding and winning their stolen wages. Now he is in deportation proceedings.
