Retailers and Manufacturers to Fund Groundbreaking Independent Monitoring
Program To Improve Labor Conditions on U.S. Territory

The remaining U.S. clothing retailers that buy garments manufactured on Saipan in the U.S. Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands, and twenty-three Saipan manufacturers have settled claims against them in a federal class-action lawsuit alleging violations of wage and hour laws and other workers' rights.

"These settlements open a new chapter in Saipan - for workers and factories alike," said Al Meyerhoff, a lead attorney for the plaintiffs and partner at Milberg Weiss Bershad Hynes & Lerach LLP. "We are delighted with the outcome and look forward to swift court approval."
