Wonder what the truth is. IF Dole is hurting the workers, they must STOP. As much as the world needs bananas, the idea of killing workers with chemicals is... beyond unacceptable.
There MUST be a better way to manage banana farming. We have organic bananas here. I'd rather pay more, cut back if need be if I'm short of money, and yes, I realize other people may not agree with me, that's their right.
But if innocent people must die or become infertile because of my bananas, then I'm culpable. Dole is a smart company with smart people. There's a way to grow bananas WITHOUT HARMING the workers.
These are new times, with new ideas and motivations. The old Corporate Rule of Dominion is a thing of the past. The world is ROUND, and what we all do comes BACK UPON US.
Companies need humanity, sustainability.
It's OVER - the days of destruction and decimation are OVER, or we're over.
Dole, get a clue - time to do things the RIGHT way - not the "at all costs" way.
