While we’re at it, we’ll throw in a couple of good stories from the recently completed “2008 Chipocrisy Tour”. Here’s one from the Tour stop in Asheville, North Carolina, entitled, “Farmworkers bring tales of modern-day slavery to Asheville.”

And here’s a good story from the Chipotle protest in Gainesville, FL, entitled “Protestors rally for fair worker wages at Chipotle.” Both stories are worth a read.
