November 5, 2007 Since May of 2007, there has been an ongoing crisis in CD Apparel, an assembly factory located in Building 3, in the SONAPI Industrial Park in Port-au-Prince , Haiti . This factory was producing clothing apparel for Hanes until suddenly Hanes withdrew all of its contracts and forced its closure. According to the Haitian factory owner, Frantz Pilorge, it seems that this came about because of a plot against him by two other big Haitian bourgeois factory owners, Apaid and Richard Coles who also have contracts with Hanes. That's their concern. But on the other hand, more than 500 workers have been laid off as a result of this.

That's their concern. But on the other hand, more than 500 workers have been laid off as a result of this. Although these workers have been paid their “legal” severance, this was only worth a pittance, particularly since wages in Haiti are so low. In these circumstances, the workers should be duly compensated; they should be paid a real severance, the same way that Hanes treats workers in other countries in a similar situation. There should be no discrimination against Haitian workers! We should not accept any discrimination! |
