The short explanation of this alert was:
Don't let Russell Athletic cut and run from Jerzees de Honduras! This collegiate factory, which is one of the only unionized garment facilities in Honduras and is directly owned by Russell, is a concrete testament to the power of student and worker solidarity. In 2007, with strong support from students and other anti-sweatshop activists, the workers won their hard-fought struggle for union representation, an unprecedented victory. Unfortunately, Russell Athletic has moved to destroy the union at Jerzees de Honduras by announcing just six days ago on October 8th that they are closing the factory. And this happened right when Russell was in the middle of negotiations with the workers over their first contract. Because of this, the workers' gains at Jerzees de Honduras have been put in jeopardy. This closure is a direct result of the business practices of Russell, and such behavior will not be tolerated! Tell Russell Athletic that they must, by whatever means necessary, ensure that the factory be reopened and its union workers remain employed!
