There is a proposal to pay tomato pickers an additional penny per pound of tomatoes that they pick. The fight against paying the pickers any more is being led by Burger King.
45 cents. That's what the pickers earn for picking one 32-pound bucket of tomatoes.
So it seems as though Burger King is taking the position that royalty has taken for millennia: Take from the poor and enrich yourself.

"We're going to take you and the Queen, down to the guillotine, somewhere in the heart of town. And when that fella there is through, with what he's gonna do, you'll have no place to wear your crown."
