Support Striking Filipino Workers!

Campaign Unavailable

We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit United Students Against Sweatshops.

The short explanation of this alert was:

Tell Wal-Mart, Chong Won management, and the Philippines Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) that this continued violence against workers and flagrant trampling of workers rights will NOT be tolerated! The workers of Chong Won Fashion Inc, producing for WalMart in the Philippines, are in their sixth month of strike! They have called upon WalMart and the Filipino authorities to uphold their professed commitments to workers rights and the law of the Philippines and ensure an end to the egregious violations of labor rights, perpetrated against them by management. Instead of justice, however, the Chong Won strikers have met only resistance from WalMart and further violence, threats, and discrimination from the government authorities. This terrible situation must further be viewed in the context of the current political situation in the Philippines, where political killings and repression of human rights activists are occurring with ever increasing frequency. Please tell Wal-Mart, Chong Won, PEZA, and DOLE to act now! NO MORE VIOLENCE, NO MORE EXCUSES, JUSTICE FOR THE WORKERS OF CHONG WON!
