Wal-Mart Factory Workers on Strike(one month later)!

On September 25, 2006, the United Workers of Chong Won in the Philippines declared a strike demanding that factory management immediately begin to negotiate with their trade union.  The management of garment factory Chong Won Fashion Inc. has violated workers’ freedom of association, forced workers to take on 24 hour shifts, and does not allow workers to drink water or go to the bathroom during work hours.  As the primary buyer from the factory, Wal-Mart is responsible for protecting the human rights of workers at  Chong Won.  Go to ILRFs website for more background info.
