Shanghai Sum-Sweater Knitting Fashion Co., Ltd

ILO violation 87,98 : Workers at Sum Sweater Ltd decided in June to try and organise a union to protect their rights, but when management found out in August they investigated to find who the ring leaders were, and then summarily fired 63 workers, most involved in the union. Virtually all of the workers planning to join the executive committee of the union – which was to be elected in a matter of days – were terminated. Further intimidation of the remaining workforce after the firings effectively brought to an end the union organising effort.: Bangladesh
