What a Whopper: The True Story of Slavery in North America's Fast Food Industry 16 pages, color cover, b&w inside, full size (3 oz) $4.00

This clever, well-researched comic is a great overview of the struggles of Florida tomato pickers. It helps illuminate the the links between the workers' substandard wages and living accommodations, and the corporate fast food chains that stand to benefit. It follows a typical day in the life of a migrant worker, from waiting for hours for a job assignment that may not come, to picking 2 tons of tomatoes to make a whopping $50. What a Whopper also explains some of the campaigns of the Coalition for Immokalee Workers, a group of laborers and their supporters who lobby for farm workers' rights!
