Burger King first refused to pay tomato pickers in Florida an extra cent per pound last year. The battle over that penny continues. We know it's not just a penny. That extra cent amounts to as much as $20 extra for farmworkers who currently only earn around $60 a day. Sure, for Burger King it amounts to $250,000 extra each year, but compare that to what it rakes in: $11 billion in sales and $2.2 billion in corporate earnings. (Notably, McDonald's agreed to increase these same farmworkers' wages in 2007.) The fast food giant has even hired spies to infiltrate labor organizations. Unfair farmworker wages is just one reason why some chains can charge a ridiculous 99 cents for a burger, yet another reminder to think about the faces behind the ingredients stacked on your restaurant sandwich, especially that tomato slice.

And as for the $250,000: I wonder how much they've spent so much on private investigators and lobbying against this deal?
