Do not scream at or embaras people entering the stores. They do, however, have the right to know where and under what conditions their clothing is made. Our goal is to let them know about the use of sweatshop labor and ask them to get involved by signing a petition, writing a letter or even joining the struggle to end sweatshop labor. We are not calling for a boycott. Companies, when faces with boycotts over factory conditions in a certain country, respond by closing factories in that country and moving to another low-wage area.
Nothing is changed and workers are left with even less than they had.
All workers need jobs, but they must be jobs with dignity and respect. Our goal is to demand that these workers be given the right to organize independent unions in order to improve their pay and working conditions. As it stands now, corporations can search the world for workers who will work for the lowest wages. By raising standards for workers in other countries, workers in the U.S. will no longer be in competition with workers around the world to see who will work for the lowest pay with the worst working conditions. Send copies of the petitions you've collected to the CEO of the company.
