The short explanation of this alert was:

Give 'em an inch, and they'll take a mile.

This is exactly what Wal-Mart did to the workers at Chong Won Fashion in Cavite, Philippines where Wal-Mart was given over 2 weeks and clear concrete information from well-respected NGOs to use their power to encourage factory management to clean up its act.  Unfortunately Wal-Mart continues to give mixed signals and in the end, it's the workers that have suffered.

Wal-Mart's code of conduct includes provisions on the following:

  • Freedom of Association
  • Bathroom breaks
  • Drinking water
  • Pay
  • Work Hours

Apparently it seems that Wal-Mart's code of conduct is nothing but a public relations tool as once again it has become clear that Wal-mart has no intentions of enforcing its code in any real way.  The Chong Won Fashion case is just one of many where Wal-Mart says all the right things and follows words with all the wrong actions. 

Workers at Chong Won Fashion are seeking your support to push Wal-Mart to take immediate action to enforce its code of conduct.
