Manila, April 26 -- Two organizations' move against the slave-like conditions of coffee workers in Brazil may cause difficulties for coffee and fast-food giants Starbucks, Nestle, JDE, Dunkin', Illy, and McDonald's.

International Rights Advocates (IRAdvocates) and the nonprofit watchdog organization Coffee Watch filed petitions on behalf of Brazilian farmworkers in the US District Court of Washington against the coffee giant, claiming that workers face harsh working conditions, as shown in Coffee Watch's statement on Thursday.

Coffee Watch requested that the US government prohibit imports of coffee tainted by slavery and forced labor from Brazil by major importers, such as Starbucks, Nestle, JDE, Dunkin' Donuts, Illy, and McDonald's.
