Organizing to End Sweatshops

April 1, 2003 - 12:00am

The Maquila Solidarity Network (MSN) is a Canadian network promoting solidarity with groups in Mexico, Central America, and Asia organizing in maquiladora factories and export processing zones to improve employment with dignity, fair wages and working conditions, and healthy workplaces and communities. A recent campaign saw members of the Ethical Trading Action Group (ETAG) -- a coalition of church, labour and non-governmental organizations concerned about ongoing links between Canadian apparel companies and abuses in overseas factories where their clothing is produced, take tens of thousands of clothing labels to Allan Rock's Industry Canada office.
