Support
builds for Kenyan Tailors and Textile Union -- more needs to done!
Support Kenyan Garment Workers
Wal Mart + Target + Sears
[from Clean Clothes Campaign]
March 4, 2003 -- The Tailors and Textile Union and the Kenyan Human
Rights Commission (KHRC) is requesting action in a case involving
approximately 9,200 Kenyan garment workers, producing for a number
of major international brands, who were fired after going on strike
in January to demand better working conditions. The workers, employed
at seven factories in Kenya's export processing zones, were producing
for brands including Wal-Mart, Sears, and Target. The Ministry of
Labor issued an order on February 11th instructing the factories to
reinstate the workers and recognize the union by Monday, March 3rd.
This deadline has now passed and the workers have not been reinstated.
The union and the KHRC are requesting that people write letters of
protest to factory management at each of the factories and to the
brands that are known to be sourcing at these facilities.

for directions on suggested solidarity actions.
