Sweatfree Factory Closes, Unemployed Workers Need Support
The closing of Just Garments in April 2007 marked a sad and difficult end
to a valiant effort to establish a unionized maquila in El Salvador
producing for the sweat-free market in the North. Workers who helped
keep the factory and their dream alive with personal sacrifices have
been left without full compensation and severance pay. USLEAP is
seeking and accepting donations to help cover what they are owed. Click here to make a donation [be sure to indicate the contribution is for Just Garments] or here to read the USLEAP statement on the closing and history of Just Garments.
