| RE: Bangladeshi Workers strike over wages--take to streets Over 1,100 of us have signed a petition to Wal-Mart and the Bangladeshi government supporting the garment workers' demand for a 43-cent-an-hour minimum wage. Please keep the signatures coming and continue to spread the word! Sign Letter to Wal-Mart At least 50 garment factories have been shut, as Bangladesh's garment workers strike and take to the streets. At 10:00 a.m. today (Saturday, June 19), workers blocked the main Dhaka Tangail highway demanding a wage increase. Seven thousand workers struck the Nasa Group--Bangladesh's largest garment conglomerate, which sews clothing for Wal-Mart. The workers are demanding a compromise of nothing less than a minimum wage of 35 cents an hour. Please help our sisters and brothers in Bangladesh win a minimum wage of at least 35 to 43 cents an hour! Wal-Mart and the other U.S. apparel companies could easily afford this. The situation is extremely volatile. Police are being deployed at the struck factories. |
