Labor Practices

"While a majority of Gildan’s Canadian workers are represented by unions and enjoy the benefits of collective agreements, none of Gildan’s workers in Mexico or the Caribbean Basin are organized, with the possible exception of a Salvadoran contract factory where management has invited in a pro-company union, without the workers’ consent."

Famous quotes containing the words labor and/or practices:

    The manufacturing corporation, except in comparatively few instances, no longer represents a protecting care, a parental influence, over its operatives. It is too often a soulless organization; and its members forget that they are morally responsible for the souls and bodies, as well as for the wages, of those whose labor is the source of their wealth.
    Harriet H. Robinson (1825–1911)

    Such is the art of writing as Dreiser understands it and practices it—an endless piling up of minutiae, an almost ferocious tracking down of ions, electrons and molecules, an unshakable determination to tell it all. One is amazed by the mole-like diligence of the man, and no less by his exasperating disregard for the ease of his readers.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
