Quote for Today

Here is a quote from Yenny Perez, a worker from BJ&B who is currently in the US doing speaking events at Niketowns and university campuses:

“I think the closure has been planned for a long time. I believe they are doing this because of the union, to get rid of the union. I know that they had work. There was plenty of work we could have done. Before they closed, no one knew anything because they didn't tell us anything. There were just rumors that they would abandon the factory. Then they just announced it [the closure] all of a sudden.”

If you would like more information about speaking events or actions in your area, please contact me.
