The short explanation of this alert was:

Calling all Maryland residents to support SweatFree MD House Bill 290

Ending Taxpayer Support for Sweatshops

This is the human reality of the global apparel industry: Young women and children work long hours under harsh conditions for poverty wages. Women are fired if they become pregnant. Workers’ health, safety and human rights are ignored.

Our tax dollars pay for human rights abuses when our cities and states buy uniforms and other products.

It's time for the state of Maryland to pass SweatFree MD House Bill 290 into law.  Maryland has the opportunity to be a leader while supporting basic labor rights for all workers producing apparel for Maryland employees including police officers, public transit employees, correctional officers and many other state employees.

TAKE ACTION NOW BY EMAILING YOUR MARYLAND DELEGATE EXPRESSING SUPPORT FOR SWEATFREE MD HOUSE BILL 290.

If you know of any organizations that would like to express support for Bill 290 through an organizational sign on letter, contact Trina Tocco for more information.
