Russell Athletic, a Fruit of the Loom subsidiary, shamelessly closed the Jerzees de Honduras factory early this year, reportedly to punish workers for forming a union.

One of the factory supervisors said: "the workers will starve because they got involved with a union"

Over 1,800 workers have now lost their jobs, leaving them and their families with no income and no rights.

Nearly 100 Universities in the UK, USA and Canada within the space of a few months have boycotted Russell and Fruit of the Loom, making it the biggest international garment boycott ever.

Sacked workers need your support NOW!

We've already forced the company into negotiations with the union, which are taking place this Friday (7th August) in Washington DC

Students in the UK and USA are calling for a Transatlantic Day of Action to show support for workers getting their income and human rights back.

TAKE ACTION NOW!
