CODEMUH | Solidarity for Injured Gildan Inc Workers & Mass Layoff: Urgent action is underway from CoDev Canada to support partner organization Honduran Women’s Collective (CODEMUH) in holding Canadian corporation Gildan Activewear Inc accountable as they will soon rob 2,700 workers of livelihoods following the closure of their San Miguel factory this month. CODEMUH is calling on Gildan to re-hire the workers at their other Honduran factories, and to compensate the 300 injured workers now left without medical and rehabilitation services, ineligible for disability pensions, and facing barriers to future employment. Sign the petition here going directly to the Gildan CEO, and share the cause on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram (please tag CODEMUH and Gildan). The Honduran Women’s Collective statement is online here in Spanish and English.
