Stop Threats of Violence Against Honduran Workers
Though workers at the Jerzeez factory in Honduras have won the rights to unionize–which was incredibly difficult to do!–Russel Athletic is closing the factory to destroy the union. There have also been reports of the union leaders being threatened with violence–which, in Honduras, is particularly disturbing, as a union leader was recently assassinated there.
Please ask Russel to at least delay the closing of the facotory until the safety of these leaders is secure.
