Fight For Union Rights!
Multinational garment-making corporation Triumph International, a supplier to Wal-Mart, Zellers and Sears, has violated international labor standards by firing thousands of factory workers in Thailand and the Philippines. Triumph neglected to conduct timely and transparent negotiations with the factory workers' unions and is refusing to pay workers their last salaries or their legally required severance compensations.
Although Triumph cites the global recession as the cause of the mass firing, opponents point to signs of union-busting. The cuts primarily reduce the workforce in unionized factories, while a new factory in northern Thailand is currently being expanded.
Take action now to support these Thai and Filipino workers in their struggle. Send a letter to Triumph's headquarters in Switzerland and tell your friends to do the same.
