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: Six months ago, over 1200 workers at the Rising Sun Factory in Kenya, which produces for Jones Apparel, were fired and beaten for protesting the union busting, sexual harassment, and other abuses that were common place in their factory. In addition, in the last two months, more than 25 workers have been fired from the Avandia factory in Guatemala, which also produces for Jones Apparel, simply for exercising their right to freely associate. Send a message to Jones Apparel that union busting is unacceptable and that these workers need to be rehired!
