DESCRIPTION:Emergency Levi Strauss Anti-sweatshop Demonstration  In Solidarity with 
 Haitian garment workers, whose independent union is under attack by 
 Sweatshop Owners   Levi’s contractor, GRUPO M, runs a sweatshop in Haiti 
 where the workers have formed an independent union.  GRUPO M has been 
 trying to bust the union all spring: organizers have been beaten by 
 soldiers and more than 350 workers were fired last month.  Levi’s has a 
 “code of conduct” that proclaims that workers producing their products 
 will have basic rights, but they’ve been looking the other way.  An 
 international campaign has begun to make Levi’s listen, and our homegrown 
 political pressure will get them to do the right thing- we call on Levi 
 Strauss to reinstate the workers fired during GRUPO’s campaign against 
 the union.  We demand that Levi’s and its contractor negotiate with the 
 union.  Thursday, Aug. 5th  Levi’s HQ  1155 Battery, San Francisco  1:00 
 PM  For more information, contact Mike Dolan at mikefdolan@earthlink.net.  
 Sponsored by the California Coalition for Fair Trade and Human Rights  \n
