This past April, the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, or CIW, a group of Mexican, Guatemalan and Haitian farm workers in southwest Florida, declared a major victory over Mcdonalds. As they had done with Yum Brands, the parent company of Taco Bell, the CIW campaigned for a penny per pound pay increase for picking the tomatoes which end up in Mcdonald's food. The fast food giants also agreed to guarantee better working conditions in the fields for the farm workers. Now the CIW is taking on Burger King, and organized hundreds of people to march on Burger King's corporate headquarters in Miami. Latino USA's Andrew Stelzer has more on the protest, and how Burger King is reacting.

A dance craze known as the Mambo swept through the nation in the 1950's. Musicians such as Desi Arnaz, Perez Prado, and Tito Puente would be come household names. But it all started in New York City at the Palladium Dancehall. Owner Max Hyman decided to begin "Latin Music Sunday Matinees" in the hopes of bringing in new business, and the club quickly became the hottest spot to hear the best orchestras, not only from New York, but of Cuba and Puerto Rico. The Palladium closed its doors in 1966, and it seemed that no place would ever capture the passion and unique spirit that was felt in the dancehall…until now. The renowned Ballet Hispanico of New York is bringing back the Mambo with their production of Palladium Nights. Latino USA's Lily Percy spent some time with the principals of the production and sent us this intimate look at Ballet Hispanico's Palladium Nights.
