VICTORY: Honduran Workers Get Nike to “Just Pay it”
By Jack Mahoney
Ex-workers demand Nike pay them owed dues at a rally in Honduras, June 12, 2010.
UPDATE: New York Times story on the victory
The CGT union in Honduras announced that it reached an agreement with Nike on behalf of the 1,800 former workers who sewed Nike college apparel at the factories Hugger de Honduras and Vision Tex. One year and six months after the factories closed and failed to pay $2.5 million in severance to the workers, and after a United Students against Sweatshops (USAS) campaign severed Nike contracts with universities for the first time ever, workers and USAS forced Nike to agree to everything they had been demanding. Ex-workers demand Nike pay them what they’re owed at a rally in Honduras, June 12, 2010.
