One example of the latter category is the fine report on a recent victory by migrant tomato workers in Florida. Yum Brands, the world's second largest fast food corporation -- they own Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and KFC -- has agreed to conditions that will encourage improved working conditions for employees of its produce suppliers. The NPR report explains how this victory came about as a result of dogged organizing by the workers. It is an example of what a public broadcast service ought to do, and a reminder of why NPR and PBS are worth saving.
