Union
network urges pressure on Gap to end sweatshop exploitation of workers
[12-11-02]
Don't Buy Me Gap
[The following has come to us from Union
Voice, a campaign aimed at urging The Gap to stop the exploitation of
sweatshop workers in countries around the world.]
In factory after factory--in Bangladesh, El Salvador,
Indonesia, Cambodia, Mexico and southern Africa--workers making Gap
clothes have reported beatings from supervisors, desperately low wages,
unsafe working conditions and harsh repression when they stand up for
their rights.
This holiday season, join hundreds of thousands of
concerned people across the country in helping Gap workers fight back.
Tell the Gap that you are taking Gap products off your holiday list this
year. And most important, share this message with everyone you know!
First, take one minute right now to send a message to
Gap executives by clicking on the link below. http://www.unionvoice.org/campaign/gapsweatshops/kguu2a7t3b
Second, e-mail your friends and family to spread the
word. Tell them: "Don't Buy Me Gap This Holiday Season," and
ask them to forward this e-mail message to everyone on their e-mail
lists this holiday. http://www.unionvoice.org/campaign/gapsweatshops/forward/kguu2a7t3b
These two simple steps can make a difference, as
millions of working families say "No!" to Gap this year.
