Tell American Eagle Unionbusting Doesn't Fit!
One of the biggest clothing retailers in North America, American Eagle Outfitters has a corporate code of conduct for contractors that supports workers’ rights to join a union.
But workers at American Eagle’s Canadian distribution contractor have a shocking story to tell. When these men and women first tried to form a union, they say they were subjected to harassment and intimidation—all part of a massive unionbusting campaign.
Write a letter to American Eagle demanding that the company enforce its code of conduct at the Canadian distribution center
| Sample Letter for Campaign |
Subject: Unionbusting doesn't fit!
Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,
As a person who cares about the way a company treats its employees, I wanted to let you know how disappointed I was to hear that American Eagle has not enforced its code of conduct for workers at the NLS distribution center in Mississauga, Ontario.
Despite promising to treat workers with "dignity and respect," American Eagle has not lifted a finger to enforce its code of conduct. Your company is the largest customer of NLS - American Eagle can make a difference in the lives of these workers.
More and more employers understand the value and importance of fair and respectful labor practices. These companies have my support and admiration.
These workers have a right to join a union, free from harassment and fear. Please realize there is another way - enforce your own code of conduct.
Sincerely,
|
