Worker coalition ends boycott of Taco Bell
WASHINGTON (UMNS) - A United Methodist- backed consumer boycott against Taco Bell has ended. The Florida-based Coalition of Immokalee Workers announced March 8 that it is ending the boycott after Taco Bell agreed to work with the organization to address working conditions and the wages of farm workers in the Florida tomato industry. The United Methodist Church officially joined the boycott last spring by a vote of the denomination's 2004 General Conference, its top legislative body. Other religious groups that had endorsed the boycott included the National Council of Churches, the Presbyterian Church (USA), the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), the United Church of Christ and the American Friends Service Committee.
