Pilgrimage to Publix

A group of Florida farmworkers and their allies will spend Labor Day bicycling as part of a journey taking them from one of the state's poorest towns to the headquarters of one of
its most profitable companies in a quest for better working conditions.
On Aug. 27, the members of the
Coalition of Immokalee Workers
set off on a 200-mile bike trek from the southwestern Florida farming community
of Immokalee to the Lakeland headquarters of Publix.

plus a myriad of other reasons that I listed for about five minutes. All excuses.
