Large brands, like Nike and Adidas, often pit workers in different countries against each other, thus defeating any localized union organizing, according to Billy Yates, US Campaign Director for “Pay Your Workers Campaign“.

An upcoming Webinar “Revenge Organizing: From Sweatshops to Starbucks and Policy as a Tool for Change” will be supported by the Havens Wright Center on June 23, at 6PM.
