RALLY AGAINST SWEAT SHOP CONDITIONS AND UNION BUSTING THIS MAY DAY 
 

RALLY AT NOON, MAY 1

La Senza Store, 1143 Robson, downtown Vancouver

 

          Dirty Lingerie: The un-sexy side of La Senza
 

Workers making La Senza products in Thailand are facing ongoing intimidation and harassment by their employer. For the past two years, management at the Gina Form Bra Company Ltd. has targeted union supporters, unjustly firing 27 union members and laying off five members of the union executive committee.  The company has conducted a heavy surveillance campaign and hired contract workers with lower wages and benefits, aimed at busting the union. According to Thailand's National Human Rights Commission, the company's actions violate Thai labour laws and United Nations' covenants on human rights.  This is not a boycott of La Senza products. Thai workers making La Senza lingerie request your support.

            Tell La Senza to respect worker rights in Thailand now!
Pass this flyer to the La Senza store manager or staff. Tell them you are concerned about worker rights violations in Thailand. Ask them to convey the following message to their head office: Don't cut and run from its responsibility to workers making La Senza products in Thailand. Pressure La Senza's Thai supplier to:

1.      Reinstate unjustly fired and laid-off union members immediately.

2.      End all intimidation and discrimination against workers immediately.
