Charles Kernaghan: Support the Fired Sweatshop Workers in Nicaragua

By Amazing Speakers & Events, Labor

While in New York for the United Nations meeting in early September, I paid an unannounced visit to the National Labor Committee’s small offices. I walked into an emergency meeting of college students with the NLC’s charismatic and energetic director Charles Kernaghan. One of the major sweatshop contractors, sewing clothes for Kohl’s, J.C. Penney, Kmart and Wal-Mart in Nicaragua’s maquiladora, had just fired 600 union workers. This is the story of the fight back of the Nicaraguan workers and their appeal for help from US consumers who are paying $30 for a pair of jeans that they earn just 20 cents to sew.
