Lesotho Clothing and Allied Workers Union gets agreements with two
Taiwanese producers
Lesotho Workers Win Union Recognition
Following a year long campaign to defend workers rights in Lesotho,
the
garment workers' union has achieved a significant breakthrough at
the
country's two largest garment factories. The Lesotho Clothing and
Allied Workers Union (LECAWU) recently signed an agreement with
management at two garment factories, C&Y Garments and Nien
Hsing International, both owned by the Taiwanese multi-national
Nien Hsing. The agreement recognizes the rights of union shop stewards
and establishes procedures for resolving issues between union and
management. Management at both factories has also begun to deduct
union dues from workers' pay cheques, thereby recognizing that the
union has signed up more than 50% of the workers at both factories.
According to the Toronto-based Maquila Solidarity Network, "Local
Organizing + International Campaign = Worker Victory"
