The union at the Yoo Yang factory was started
with the help of the KIMI union. STITCH works closely with
this union through our training exchange program. After
a failed attempt to get legal recognition, the union tried
again in July. Though the Labor Ministry is legally obligated
to respond within 15 days, the union did not receive any
response for more than six weeks. The legal recognition
(a prerequisite to negotiating a contract) is still pending.
Contact the Honduran Embassy and encourage the Honduran
government to act expeditiously on the application for legal
recognition that has been filed by the Yoo Yang union in
Lima, Honduras: The Honorable Hugo Noe Pino, Embassy of
Honduras, 3007 Tilden Ave., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20008.
