Below is a list of the companies, brands, and countries that I keep my eye on.  Names listed in red have official boycotts called against them.  (You can download a more printer-friendly list of only the boycotted companies by clicking here.)  Companies with names listed in magenta are not being boycotted.  I have included a summary of reasons for concern next to each parent company, along with initials showing the general reason each is being targeted:

Adidas
P.O. Box 4015
Beaverton, OR 97076
(800) 448-1796
consumer.relations@adidasus.com

Official boycott called?  No.

Reasons for Concern:  Adidas is one of many companies that produces shoes and apparel in Burma, the Southeast Asian country ruled by a repressive military.  Because of the brutality of the government, activists within Burma have called for a boycott of all Burmese-made goods and tourism.  Products made in Burma bear the label "Made in Myanmar."  If you see clothing or shoes with this label, do not buy them.  Contact Adidas and ask them to stop production in Burma.  For more information, see Burma.  For the second time, Adidas also recently stopped negotiations with the German Clean Clothes Campaign (CCC) to implement a pilot monitoring program in El Salvador.  This program would have enabled local non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to act as independent monitors of Central American factories that produce for Adidas and other companies.  Adidas claimed that the monitoring program would not be independent enough, but with no proposed alternative plan, it looks like the company is just stalling.¹

Official boycott called?  Yes, by Baby Food Action Campaign.

Along with Nestlé, American Home Products Corp. has been the focus of a boycott campaign for many years because of one of its coercive business-building campaigns in Latin America.  The company provides many developing countries' maternity wards with free samples of its baby formula.  When mothers go home, their infants can no longer breast-feed easily because they are used to suckling on the plastic tips of bottles.  This, in turn, means that families must turn to formula instead of breast milk, and American Home Products is then happy to sell its formula to these families.  This formula is very expensive and can eat up up to 50 percent of a family's income.  Breast-feeding is always preferable to formula, especially in countries where water supplies are often contaminated with harmful chemicals.  James Grant, UNICEF's Executive Officer, says that 3,000 to 4,000 infants die daily because of inadequate access to breast milk.  Every year, 1.5 million babies die from unsafe bottle feeding.  American Home Products continues to sell baby formula in developing nations despite World Health Organization regulations against it.²

Arizona Jean Co. (HR, L)

Official boycott called?  No.

Reasons for Concern: J.C. Penney's Arizona line of clothing, which includes jeans and other apparel, is made mostly in Central American sweatshops.  Workers at these factories, specifically in Nicaragua, are vulnerable to poor pay, substandard working conditions, and unannounced mass layoffs.  Workers at the Chih Hsing factory make only about 11¢ for every $14.99 pair of Arizona Jeans they sew for J.C. Penney, averaging between 24¢ and 27¢ per hour.  They often are required to work 70 hours a week and are cheated on their overtime pay.  Workers are routinely denied permission to use the Social Security health clinic, though money is deducted from their wages for this service.  Pregnant women are fired in an effort to avoid paying maternity benefits.³

Official boycott called? Yes, by International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT).

Reasons for Concern:  On July 7, 1999, more than 700 mostly Latina workers struck at Basic Vegetable's garlic and onion processing plant in King City, California.  They were protesting the company's threats to lower wages and benefits and restrict employee rights.  The company has used strikebreakers ever since then.  Please do not buy any of Basic American's bean, chili, garlic, potato, and tomato products.  Since these products go mainly to institutional buyers, the Teamsters are asking for support from interested colleges, hotels, prisons, and hospitals.  If you have any influence on your institution's buying policies or if you would like to organize to pressure your institution to stop buying Basic American, please contact Chuck Mack at (510) 569-9317.⁴

Best Buy (HR)
Consumer Relations
P.O. Box 9312
Minneapolis, MN 55440
(888) 237-8289
http://www.bestbuy.com/infoCenter/ContactUs/CRGeneral.asp

Official boycott called?  Yes, by Errol Maitland.

Reasons for Concern:  Best Buy is a nationwide chain that sells appliances, computer hardware and software, CDs, DVDs, and electronic equipment.  The company is also responsible for the murder of a 24-year-old man.  On July 20, 1995, Douglas Fischer tried to buy a computer at the Spartanburg, South Carolina, Best Buy using a phony credit card.  As he left the building, Fischer was confronted by an assistant manager and security guard Ricky Coleman.  Fischer started running, but Coleman caught up with him and tackled him.  Coleman proceeded to hold Fischer to the ground and strangle him.  In a few minutes, Fischer was spitting up blood.  He died soon thereafter.  Amazingly, local authorities did not charge Coleman for Fischer's death.  The coroner ruled that Fischer died of a heart attack; but for some reason it did not occur to anyone that being choked caused Fischer, who had a latent heart condition, to suffer the heart attack.  Errol Maitland, Coleman's stepfather, is calling for a boycott of Best Buy until the company accepts responsibility for Coleman's death.  Maitland concedes that his stepson was wrong to commit the crime but contends that Coleman used excessive force.  Maitland is also concerned because Coleman has a history of perpetrating violent crimes.  When Best Buy hired Coleman, there were outstanding warrants for Coleman in Greenville, South Carolina, stemming from an incident in which Coleman assaulted an individual.  He was charged with violation of the Private Security Act, assault and battery, and pointing a firearm at a person.  Greenville Police Lieutenant G.S. McLaughlin recently stated (before he had heard about the Best Buy incident) that "We've had trouble with Coleman and his security outfit before. . . . Their idea of security was shooting the customers."  After he learned about the Best Buy incident, McLaughlin went on to say, "What surprises me is that any responsible company would hire him to be a security guard."  Maitland is concerned that Best Buy does not properly screen its security guards--with deadly results.  Please do not support Best Buy, and ask the company to publicly admit that Ricky Coleman acted irresponsibly when he killed Douglas Fischer and to take appropriate actions with regard to Fischer's family and appropriately screening and training its security guards.⁵

Best Western Grosvenor Resort (L)
1850 Hotel Plaza Blvd.
Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830
(407) 828-4444
Fax:  (407) 827-8301

Official boycott called?  Yes, by Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees International Union (HERE).

Reasons for Concern:  The Grosvenor Resort, located at Walt Disney World but not owned or operated by Disney, has been using strikebreakers ever since its unionized food and beverage service employees walked out in an unfair labor practice strike in 1996.  The union had been trying to negotiate a new contract for almost a year, but the hotel would not agree to the terms, leading the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to issue an unfair labor practice complaint.  The NLRB is also trying to win an injunction against the hotel so that the resort will be forced to resume bargaining with the union, end permanent replacement of striking workers, and acquiesce to the terms of the previous contract.  HERE asks that you not support the Best Western Grosvenor Resort.  This boycott is not aimed at the entire Best Western chain, only at one particular hotel.  For more information, contact HERE Executive Vice President Ron Richardson at (202) 393-4373.⁶

P.O. Box 87707
Chicago, IL 60680-9631
(800) 333-3991
(312) 856-6111

Subsidiaries: Amoco, ARCO, Castrol

Official boycott called? Yes, by San Juan Citizens Alliance (SJCA) and Students for a Free Tibet, Inc.

Reasons for Concern:  Beyond Petroleum (formerly British Petroleum) owns a large share of PetroChina, China's recently-privatized national oil company.  PetroChina is planning to team up with BP to construct a major pipeline that will go through Tibet.  Similar to Unocal's pipeline in Burma, the proposed Chinese pipeline will displace thousands of people and disrupt the fragile Tibetan ecosystem.  The Students for a Free Tibet campaign calls for a divestment in BP and ARCO shares and a consumer boycott of Castrol motor oil and all Amoco, ARCO, and BP gas stations.  The San Juan Citizens Alliance is also calling for a boycott of BP because Amoco's drilling for natural gas in southwest Colorado has polluted the local groundwater.  If you have an Amoco card, please cut it up and send it to Amoco CEO Doug Ford with a letter explaining that you will not support Amoco or BP until the drilling stops.⁷

Big Bowl (Chicagoland locations only)
(See Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises.)

Big League Theatricals (L)

Subsidiary: The Music Man

Official boycott called?  Yes, by Actors' Equity Association (AEA) and The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO).

Reasons for Concern:  The AEA has called for a boycott of Big League Theatricals and its current touring production of The Music Man because the company refuses to hire union actors.  Even though Big League bills this tour as "Broadway" quality, the actors who will perform in it are not from the current Broadway production of The Music Man and have never appeared on Broadway.  What is worse, Big League's actors will earn very little, will receive inadequate health benefits, and no pension.  Companies like Big League rely on the fact that many young, inexperienced actors are willing to do almost anything to land a job.  Unfortunately, these actors' eagerness and naiveté eventually hurt themselves and their fellow unionized actors.  The national tour began in Des Moines, Iowa, on October 2, 2001, and is scheduled to end August 4, 2002, in San Antonio, Texas.  Please respect the boycott of this production.  (For a complete list of tour cities and dates, please click here.)⁸

Subsidiaries: Action Pay-Per-View, BET Magazine, BET Movies/Starz3, BET On Jazz:  The Cable Jazz Network, BET Soundstage Restaurant, Savoy

Official boycott called? Yes, by International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW).

Reasons for Concern:  Black Entertainment Television (BET) is a diversified entertainment company based in Washington, DC.  Staff technicians and other workers earn less than those in comparable positions in the DC area.  Although workers voted for the IBEW to represent them in 1993 and again in 1994, management has refused to negotiate a first contract.  Workers complain of irregular and sporadic work schedules and the threat of unlimited job suspensions.  Please boycott all BET subsidiaries.  If you subscribe to cable or a satellite service, you may be able to request different pay-per-view and movie channels; contact your local cable or satellite provider for availability.⁹

Boston Properties, Inc. (L)

Boston, MA 02199-8001
Attn:  Mortimer Zuckerman
(617) 236-3300
http://www.justiceforjanitors.org/action/send_message.cfm

Official boycott called?  No.

Reasons for Concern:  Boston Properties is a gigantic, immensely profitable company with office space all over the US.  It owns such recognizable properties as the Prudential Center in Boston and The Embarcadero Center in San Francisco, and it regularly rents out its highly visible office space for almost $70 a square foot. In 2000 the company made $153 million in profits.  Surely, a company of this size can afford to pay its janitors a living wage.  And for the most part, it does:  Seventy percent of the janitors who work for Boston Properties make good pay and have excellent benefits.  Unfortunately, the company's non-union janitors in Baltimore and Princeton, New Jersey, earn only minimum wage with no benefits, and the cleaning firms with which Boston Properties contracts in those cities are being investigated by the National Labor Relations Board for union-busting.  Please write to Boston Properties CEO Mortimer Zuckerman using the form at the URL listed above and ask him to treat all of his workers well.  He can easily afford to do so; he is worth $1.2 billion and publishes both The New York Daily News and U.S. News and World Report.¹⁰

Official boycott called?  Yes, by International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM).

Reasons for Concern:  This boycott has been in place since 1982, when Brown & Sharpe refused to bargain with the IAM in good faith.  The NLRB has charged Brown & Sharpe with regressive bargaining and with entering into labor negotiations with the express purpose of not coming to an agreement with the union.  Brown & Sharpe makes machine, precision, measuring, and cutting tools.¹¹

media.relations@coat.com

Subsidiaries: Cohoes Fashions, Decelle, Totally 4 Kids

Official boycott called?  Yes, by the Coalition to Abolish the Fur Trade (CAFT).

Reasons for Concern:  Some of Burlington Coat Factory's apparel is made in Burma (also called Myanmar), a country being boycotted because of its repressive military.  Burlington Coat Factory is also being boycotted (by CAFT) because some of its products are made from dog fur.  The company claims that it uses coyote fur--not dog fur--but a 1998 investigation uncovered boxes of Burlington Coat Factory apparel labeled "Mongolian Dog Fur."  Do not buy new products with the label "Made in Myanmar," and ask Burlington Coat Factory to stop benefiting from political repression; ask them to stop using Burmese factories.  Also ask them to stop selling clothing made from dogs.¹²

Burma (E, HR, L)

Official boycott called?  Yes, by Free Burma Coalition.

Reasons for Concern:  The people of Burma (also called Myanmar) have been suffering under repressive military rule for decades.  In 1990 Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) was elected to lead Burma in that country's first free election.  Unfortunately, the military government decided that it would only recognize leaders that it supported; Suu Kyi was placed under house arrest and was only allowed to leave her home in 1995.  After five years of "freedom" and after winning another election, she was been placed under house arrest once again.  She was released again in spring 2002.  Throughout the ordeal, Suu Kyi has been resolute in her refusal to give up her rightful claim to the governance of the country.  She won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991.  Many other members of the NLD are also being held under house arrest.  Suu Kyi has actively called for international support for her cause, but she will not leave Burma because she knows that she will not be allowed to return.  This has been especially difficult for her because she has not been able to see her children or her husband, who died in England two years ago.  The repression is just as bad in the workplace.  Many of the factory workers who sew for American companies are forced laborers.  Workers who try to organize unions have been deported, jailed, or forced to go underground.  The military government has stepped up production because it now relies almost solely on the revenue from exports to buy weapons.  In response to the Burmese crisis, many Western countries have stopped investing in and/or importing from Burma.  In 1997 US President Bill Clinton signed a law forbidding US-based companies from investing further in Burma.  Sadly, the law does nothing about current investment, and the corporations already in Burma have steadily increased their output.  Since 1995, textile exports from Burma to the US have increased 272 percent.  Suu Kyi and other Burmese activists have called for a total boycott of their country by foreign governments and corporations.  This includes investment, production, and tourism.  It is these activists' hope that a world boycott of Burma will force the military government to make moves to democratize the country, as the boycott of South Africa in the 1980s forced that country to end apartheid and free Nelson Mandela and other jailed activists.  Because of political and grassroots pressure, companies like All Nipon Airways, Aeroground, Apple Computers, ARCO, Baker Hughes, Best Western, Carlson Holdings, Ericsson, Heineken, Pepsi, Phillips, Texaco, and Toyota have pulled out of Burma completely.  With more public support, this list will grow.  Respect the Burmese boycott; do not buy new products with the "Made in Myanmar" label, and tell your family and friends to do the same.  If you live in the US, call your senators and urge them to support Iowa Senator Tom Harkin's bill to stop textile imports from Burma.¹³

Reasons for Concern:  By Design is a clothing company that may produce some of its line in Burma, despite that country's government's repression of political and labor rights.  (Because companies are not required to disclose the locations of their factories, they can publicly deny doing business in particularly repressive countries while secretly benefiting from inhumane working conditions.)  Boycott all products with the label "Made in Myanmar."  You can also help activists learn whether By Design produces in Burma by visiting local Bon Marche, Burdines, and Macy's stores and looking for clothes bearing either the "Made in Burma" or "Made in Myanmar" labels.  (For information on how to report your findings, click here.)¹⁴

Reasons for Concern:  Citigroup is one of the largest financial services corporations in the world.  Many do not know that it became that large illegally.  A few years ago, Citibank proposed a merger with Travelers Insurance.  At the time, such a merger was against federal antitrust laws, but Citibank paid off a few politicians and was given a two-year grace period to complete the merger.  During that time, President Clinton (whose Democratic Party received millions of dollars from Citibank) supported legislation that would change federal laws and allow the two companies to merge.  Now, the two companies are merged and still contributing millions to both major political parties.  Citigroup also recently acquired Banamex, one of Mexico's largest banks.  With this takeover, Citigroup now controls 25 percent of all bank deposits in Mexico; the consolidation of so much power into so few hands would be illegal if it occurred in the US because the Fed limits any one institution's control of deposits to 10 percent here.  Citigroup acquired Banamex with the express purpose of cornering the growing Latino market.  The corporate behemoth will no doubt take advantage of Banamex's familiarity among Latinos to expand the predatory lending policies for which Citi is infamous and for which the Federal Trade Commission is suing it.  The company bought up many independent check cashing businesses in poor neighborhoods throughout the US.  These businesses offer people cash advances on their paychecks, yet the fees charged are exorbitant.  Citigroup could never get away with this kind of usury in middle class areas, so it operates these businesses only in poor neighborhoods and does not make its company name or logo visible.  Citigroup is involved in some questionable projects worldwide.  Citigroup supports a pipeline being built in Africa, even though the construction of the pipeline would displace thousands of indigenous peoples and destroy acres and acres of rain forests.  In Indonesia, Citigroup is arranging loans for palm plantations that encroach on critical orangutan habitat.  In China, Citigroup joins Morgan Stanley Dean Witter as a major financier of the Three Gorges Dam, which will displace 1.9 million people and destroy vital migration routes for many species of fish, one species of porpoise, and one species of dolphin, the latter already endangered.  Holders of Citibank and Diners Club cards and those investing with Salomon Smith Barney should cancel their accounts.  Do not buy Travelers Insurance, and don't bank with either Banamex or California Commerce Bank.¹⁷

Reasons for Concern:  Coca-Cola, the largest and most recognizable soft drink brand in the world, has indirectly and directly benefited from terrorist paramilitary violence in Colombia.  Workers in bottling plants there have been struggling to organize in the face of harassment from management.  What is worse, paramilitary groups have assassinated workers organizing unions, and there is evidence to suggest that local plant managers have helped the paramilitaries.  One manager told his workers that he would instruct the local paramilitary leader to kill all workers who had tried to win a collective bargaining agreement.  The workers were demanding better pay, job security, and health benefits.  On December 5, 1996, the leader of the union was murdered, less than a week after the union submitted its demands.  And the paramilitaries burned the union headquarters that night.  One week later, management brought all the workers into the cafeteria, where they found the paramilitaries waiting for them.  The paras told the workers that they had until 4 p.m. that day to resign from the union; otherwise, they would be killed.  The plant managers then handed out form letters to the workers.  These letters read, "By this I present my irrevocable resignation from the union Sinaltrainal."  All 43 workers signed the letters, literally with guns to their heads.  This past July, the United Steelworkers of America (USW) and the International Labor Rights Fund filed a lawsuit against Coca-Cola and several Colombian bottlers.  The lawsuit alleges that the companies "hired, contracted with[,] or otherwise directed paramilitary security forces."  Coca-Cola denies these charges.  Please write to Coca-Cola and ask the company to respect labor and human rights all over the world.  The company should not do business with bottling plants or managers that have a history of collusion with the paramilitaries, and the company should do everything in its power to ensure that workers are safe and that they are allowed to collectively organize without the threat of violence.  In order to understand the complex situation surrounding these specific allegations against Coke, it may be necessary to have an overview of Colombia's even more complex political climate.  Colombia has been embroiled for more than 30 years in a civil war that pits violent Marxist rebel groups against the Colombian military and its illegally constituted paramilitary allies.  Rebels control about 40 percent of the total land.  In order to support themselves, rebel groups "tax" citizens under their control for "protection."  In other words, local people, mostly peasant farmers, must either give the rebels what they want or be driven out, tortured, or killed.  Many of the farmers in rebel-controlled areas grow coca, the plant used to make cocaine.  Although it is technically illegal to grow coca as a cash crop in Colombia, many farmers have switched from other food crops to coca because it is sometimes impossible to break even--let alone make a profit--on conventional food crops like corn and wheat.  Rebel groups encourage coca farming because they can extract more money from farmers than if they grow other crops.  (This is due, in large part, to the import of cheap food from other countries, which drives the prices down.)  On the other side of the conflict is the Colombian military.  It fights to regain control of rebel-controlled land but has been largely unsuccessful.  In its war against the rebels, the Colombian military has used counterinsurgency methods like kidnapping, rape, torture, and assassination to deter local populations from supporting or being sympathetic to rebels.  The Colombian military has been implicated in massive human rights abuses by dozens of bodies, including the US government and the UN.  As the war has escalated, a third main group has become a major actor:  the paramilitaries.  These forces are loosely organized groups of heavily armed "civilians" who inflict even more terror than the Colombian military on local populations because they (the paramilitaries) are not bound by laws.  Technically, the Colombian military is supposed to be working actively to apprehend and disarm paramilitary groups; but in most cases the military welcomes paramilitaries' presence because the latter can rape, torture, and murder with impunity.  In general, the military either looks the other way or actively directs the paramilitaries' actions.  The paramilitaries use methods similar to those of the rebels to "stay in business."  They tax the people in the regions they control, and they are heavily involved in the drug trade as well.  Plan Colombia is the US government's latest strategy in its failed War on Drugs.  Plan Colombia allocates $1.4 billion  in mostly military aid to the Colombian government.  As part of this package, Colombia pays US military contractors to fumigate fields in which local peasants are thought to be growing coca.  The logic goes that it is far cheaper to kill coca crops from the air than to invade rebel-controlled areas and try to win them back militarily.  Unfortunately, the fumigation have had disastrous effects on local farmers, many of whom do not grow coca but have had their fields fumigated.  The combination of pesticides used for fumigation has never been tested safe; many environmentalists worry that the runoff from these fields will destroy local ecosystems and pollute water tables.  Farmers have reported higher incidences of sickness since the fumigation began.  Fumigation has not even had its desired effect:  reducing coca production.  In fact, coca production has actually increased since the start of fumigation, and many neighboring countries are now reporting that farmers and rebels from Colombia are crossing national borders to start growing coca outside of Colombia, thus avoiding the fumigation planes.  Fumigation seems simply to be spreading the problem over a larger area rather than stopping it.  Many believe that fumigation will never work as long as there is worldwide demand--especially in the US--for drugs like cocaine and heroin.¹⁸

Reasons for Concern:  Some of Columbia's clothing is made in sweatshops in Burma, a country whose government severely represses political and labor rights.  Although the company claims it stopped doing business with Burma in 1994, a July 2000 US State Department cable reported that Columbia labels were still being sewn onto Burmese-made clothes.  Boycott all products with the label "Made in Myanmar," and ask Columbia to stop profiting from oppressive labor conditions in Burma--or at least to tell the truth about its continued business in that country.¹⁹

Official boycott called? No.

Reasons for Concern:  There is currently a trade dispute over bananas between the US and the European Union (EU).  The details of this dispute are complicated but break down to an argument over whether a country or group of countries (like the EU) should be allowed to purchase bananas from the cheapest source.  Under the current system, which has been in place for years, each banana-producing country in Latin America has a certain quota that dictates how many bananas it can export.  The EU is proposing a plan it calls "first come, first served," which would eliminate country quotas and force banana producers in different countries to compete against each other without regard to labor or environmental concerns.  Although it has experienced major difficulties over the years, the Latin American banana industry is characterized by strong labor unions in all countries except for Ecuador.  These unions, the oldest private sector unions in Latin America, have struggled to win humane working conditions and better wages for their workers.  The EU plan would destroy this progress, initiating a race to the bottom in which banana growers would move operations to Ecuador or close existing plantations to eliminate unions.  Ecuador is the only Latin American country to support the EU plan, but even many small- and medium-sized growers there are afraid of the plan's consequences.  Colombia, Costa Rica, and Panama all oppose the EU plan, as do US banana firms Chiquita and Del Monte; Dole is the only company that publicly supports the EU plan.  It has the most to gain because it imports a larger percentage of its bananas from Ecuador than any other US firm.  Please write to Dole and ask them to (1) withdraw their support for the "first come, first served" plan; (2) work with other countries and companies to develop a transition plan that will not penalize socially-responsible production; and (3) meet with the Coordination of Latin American Banana Workers Unions (COLSIBA) to begin discussing what Dole can do to improve wages, working conditions, and respect for basic rights in all countries in the region.²³

Official boycott called?Yes, by National Mobilization Against SweatShops (NMASS).

Reasons for Concern:  High-end fashion producer DKNY operates sweatshops in New York City.  The factories' all female, mostly Asian and Latina workers do not have access to bathrooms.  (Management keeps the rest rooms padlocked.)  Workers are not allowed to speak while working and are forced to keep their heads down.  They are never paid overtime and are never allowed to make phone calls, even in the case of an emergency.  In addition to these illegal and immoral working conditions, workers are profiled racially by management.  According to management, Latinas have "bigger eyes" than Asians and are, thus, "more suited for manual labor."  Latinas are routinely frisked before leaving the factory, are not allowed to use some machines "because they'll break," and are paid less than their Asian counterparts.  When Asian and Latina workers united and stood up to management, DKNY closed the factory, leaving 70 workers jobless.  The workers demand (a) an apology and a stop to the intimidation, harassment, and retaliation; (b) that DKNY re-open the factory and reinstate all workers; and (c) that 100 percent of DKNY's clothing be made in law-abiding factories and that 75 percent of this clothing be made in local communities.²⁴

Official boycott called? No.

Reasons for Concern:  Duro makes all kinds of bags at its factories in the US and Mexico, including gift bags for Hallmark and Neiman Marcus.  The Mexican factory, located in Rio Bravo, has been the site of an intense struggle between workers trying to form an independent union on the one hand and management and its own unrepresentative unions on the other.  The workers, who are mostly women and are often single mothers, have endured appalling working conditions including grossly inadequate pay, sexual and physical assault, and a filthy and unsafe workspace.  When they first organized, some workers were fired, and when the remaining workers struck, management fired 150 more and called the police, who arrested ten workers and physically assaulted many more.  After months of hard work, intimidation, and physical violence, workers were able to win legal recognition for their independent Duro Bag Workers Union in August 2000.  Ever since then, they have been trying to get the Mexican government to call an official election (recuento in Spanish) so that workers can decide whether their union will have sole rights to represent workers in collective bargaining with Duro.  The workers are currently represented by the Paper Workers Union of the Confederation of Mexican Workers (CTM).  The CTM has colluded with Duro management in the past, making deals that have actually harmed workers' rights.  The election was finally held in February 2001, but it was not conducted fairly.  Despite an agreement that it signed with the US that all union elections use a secret ballot, the Mexican government still has workers vote orally.  According to six members of the independent union committee, who were allowed into the plant to monitor the voting, workers were not allowed to vote freely because of illegal actions by the Cardboard and Paper Workers Union (CROC).  The CROC is another company-dominated union that is known throughout Mexico for using violence and intimidation to coerce workers into voting for it.  (The CROC recently used similar tactics at the Kuk Dong factory, which makes sweatshirts for Nike and Reebok.)  The CROC spent weeks before the election intimidating and threatening workers.  Many workers and independent observers saw CROC organizers carrying automatic weapons into the factory.  The mistreatment continued on election day.  Workers were literally locked into the factory and handed slips of paper with a number printed on them.  The CROC thugs told workers to say this number when the oral vote came up, and many workers complained later that they had no idea which union they had voted for.  Company officials took notes during the vote, a tactic that discourages people from voting freely for fear of retribution.  Election observers also complained that many people who were not on the list were allowed to vote, and second and third shift workers, who were not at work at the time, may not have been able to vote at all.  The final count was 498 to 4 in favor of allowing the CROC to represent the workers.  While the vote was going on, the media and independent observers from Mexico, Canada, and the US were not allowed into the factory.  Some of these observers reported that during the vote a CROC organizer drove his car into one of the fired workers who was standing outside the factory.  Other fired workers surrounded the car and demanded to search the trunk.  In it they found banners and flyers promoting the independent union.  The CROC had torn down and stolen these items.  Clearly, the vote was a sham, and the CROC will represent the workers no better than the CTM did.  Please contact Duro and tell them to hold a truly democratic election and to provide better wages and working conditions for their laborers.  For more information, contact Martha Ojeda at the Coalition for Justice in the Maquiladoras:  (210) 240-1084.²⁶

Reasons for Concern:  Some of Federated's stores sell apparel made in Burma (also called Myanmar), a country being boycotted because of its repressive military.  Although the company claims that it stopped doing business with Burma in 1995, products with the label "Made in Myanmar" often appear on its sales racks.  You can help remind Federated that it continues to benefit from slavery by visiting its stores--especially Bon Marche, Burdines, and Macy's--and looking for clothes bearing either the "Made in Burma" or "Made in Myanmar" labels.  (For more information on pressuring Federated to keep its promise to stay out of Burma, click here.)  Do not buy new products with the label "Made in Myanmar," and ask store managers to stop benefiting from political repression; ask them to stop using Burmese factories.²⁸

Reasons for Concern:  Trendy fashion retailer Forever 21 has made headlines recently, as many of the workers who sew its clothing have accused the company of paying less than minimum wage, refusing to pay overtime, forcing workers to work 10- to 12-hour shifts, maintaining dirty and unsafe factories, providing neither water on the job nor health insurance, and requiring workers to take work home with them.  Workers have called for a total boycott of the company, and there are many well-known individuals who have endorsed this boycott.  (The list above includes only collective endorsers.)  Company headquarters is located in the sweatshop district of downtown Los Angeles, so the company knows very well what its workers must endure.  Please do not patronize the company's stores around the US, and write to company president Do Won Chang and ask him to ensure that those who toil to make him so rich have safe working conditions and receive proper pay.  The company can easily afford to pay its most invisible workers; its top stores earn up to $7 million per month.²⁹

Penney, The Limited, Levi Strauss & Co., Talbots, and Target finally settled the Saipan lawsuit, Gap continues to benefit from exploitation of workers that make its clothing all over the world.  Indonesian workers who sew Gap, Banana Republic, and Old Navy clothing complain of union-busting and corporal punishment at the hands of managers who are not satisfied with the speed of the workers' production.  In Honduras young women working at Gap factories are forced to work 14-hour days for 50¢ an hour.  They can only use the bathroom twice a day and will be fired if they stand up for their rights.  In Russia Chinese migrants work 10 hours a day, six days a week earning just 11¢ an hour sewing Gap clothing.  Gap CEO Millard Drexler made $47.1 million in 1998, or more than $24,000 an hour.  According to USA Today, he is one of the highest-paid executives in the world.  Gap Chairperson Donald Fisher is worth $8 billion, making him one of the 100 richest people in the world.  Gap is also being targeted by environmentalists for the Fisher family's ownership of the Mendocino Redwood Company (MRC), which does heavy logging in the already ravaged redwood forests of two California counties.  In addition to the destruction of 150- to 500-year-old trees, this logging threatens humans and animals because MRC applies a toxic herbicide (Garlon) to the areas it clear-cuts.  Please call Gap and write Drexler, urging the company to settle the Saipan lawsuit, treat its workers fairly, and stop cutting down oldgrowth forests.³⁰

Global Gold (HR, L)

Subsidiaries: Derek Heart, Scrubs By Derek Heart, Tomfoolery, Turquoise Board Club

Official boycott called?  No.

Reasons for Concern:  Global Gold is a clothing company that may produce some of its line in Burma, despite that country's government's repression of political and labor rights.  (Because companies are not required to disclose the locations of their factories, they can publicly deny doing business in particularly repressive countries while secretly benefiting from inhumane working conditions.)  Boycott all products with the label "Made in Myanmar."  You can also help activists learn whether Global Gold produces in Burma by visiting local Kmart and Wal-Mart stores and looking for clothes bearing either the "Made in Burma" or "Made in Myanmar" labels.  (For information on how to report your findings, click here.)³¹

Gloria

Gloria Vanderbilt (HR, L)

Official boycott called?  No.

Reasons for Concern:  Gloria Vanderbilt jeans are produced in Nicaraguan FTZs.  According to workers,  Cherokee, Kohl's, and Target jeans are also sewn there. Sixteen percent of all industrial workers in Nicaragua are employed in the FTZs, the products of which were worth $182 million in 1998.  Exports were only worth $3 million in 1992.  Despite the increase in profit for factory owners and jobs for workers, conditions have actually worsened in the past decade.  Supervisors often fire workers who become pregnant.  Thus, women dread exercising their right to bear children.  Some of those interviewed in a recent study conducted by the Maria Elena Cuadra Women's Movement said they had been verbally or physically abused by supervisors, and 31 women said that supervisors had sexually accosted or abused them.  Although these numbers are relatively low, many women do not recount what has happened to them for fear of losing their jobs or being abused again or both.  A large number of those surveyed complained of having to undergo strip searches by supervisors who suspected workers of stealing company property.³²

Official boycott called?  Yes, by Student Stop Sweatshops.

Reasons for Concern:  Guess has been in the headlines for sweatshop abuses since 1992.  On July 17, 1997, the California Department of Labor Standards Enforcement raided and uncovered five homes where Guess workers were doing illegal industrial work.  Earlier in the year, the Department of Labor (DOL) had removed the company from its "Trendsetter List" for its use of sweatshops.  Despite its clear violations of US labor law and the media attention that has focused on it because of these violations, Guess has made the situation worse by retaliating against workers who have spoken out against how they have been treated at work.  One of the most frustrating aspects of Guess's intransigence is that its sweatshops are located not only abroad but in the heart of Los Angeles's Garment District.  Please boycott all Guess products and call on the company to respect workers' rights generally and to intervene specifically on behalf or workers at the Ladybird Garment factory in Thailand.  (For more information about the Ladybird situation, Please see The TJX Companies, Inc.).³³

http://www.gymboree.com/our_company/contact_us.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=75791&bmUID=998276524249

Official boycott called?  No.

Reasons for Concern:  The Ladybird Garment Co., one of Gymboree's contracted factories, is in the midst of a labor dispute.  Although it has managed to win official recognition and a fair contract, the workers' union is still trying to get management to implement the changes it agreed to in writing.  (See The TJX Companies, Inc., for more information about the Ladybird situation.)  Gymboree has been relatively proactive regarding Ladybird; an unexpected visit of the factory by a Gymboree inspector confirmed worker complaints that working conditions were unacceptable.  Although Ladybird management passed out protective masks and stocked the employee rest rooms at the last minute, the Gymboree inspector learned that workers had never received masks before, that workers normally had to bring their own toilet paper, and that there was no trained medical personnel at the factory even though Thai law required it.  Please ask Gymboree to continue to monitor working conditions in the factory and to use its influence to urge Ladybird to live up to its contract with workers.³⁴
