Philippines: Stop union-busting at Lululemon supplier
| In partnership with OMEGA-PIGLAS, the union representing workers at MetroWear. |
This campaign is about the freedom of association and the right to collectively bargain for the employees of Metro Wear 2 in Cebu, Philippines that produce for Lululemon. The Union (OMEGA-PIGLAS) won their certification election over a year ago, but the company has employed delay tactics and refused to begin collective bargaining. The company just announced that they plan to shut down the factory for three months without a clear and convincing reason stating that Lululemon is reducing its order from Metrowear. Nearly 1,800 workers will lose their means of living for three months. Furthermore, the company has fired five union officers since February, a clear move to undermine the union. This is union busting or union avoidance at the very least.
