Farm workers protested a Burger King store on the Suncoast Sunday. The Immokalee farm workers are traveling to different cities drumming up support. This in an effort to get more money for their tomatoes.

Gerardo Reyes is a farm worker from Immokalee, Florida and member of the Coalition of Immokalee workers. The group is on a statewide tour bringing awareness to what he says are unlivable conditions.

"There are many situations of abuse in the fields of Florida...we work in the tomato industry and there are some companies that are right now part of agreements with Taco Bell and McDonalds," Reyes says.

Armed with buckets, drums and mega phones, more than fifty farm workers, students,and activists of all kinds...protested in front of Burger King on Tamiami Trail Sunday afternoon. The march slowed traffic to a crawl and some drivers showed their support by honking as they drove by. The group is asking the fast food giant to pay one more cent per pound for tomatoes.

"When we are picking tomatoes we work by piece. So you work every bucket they pay you forty to forty five cents and all of the picking is done by hand by the piece rate," Reyes tells ABC 7.

After a four-year boycott of Taco Bell, the restaurant chain has since worked with the coalition by making sure more money goes to the workers. The workers are now focusing on Burger King.  Reyes is optimistic about the protest and feels they're making progress.

"We are going to bring them to the table to talk to us and to make the changes that are needed in our community possible."

The group is planning a national march to the Burger King headquarters in Miami. That's scheduled for November 30th.
