North Sails, GST, Boards and More - Nominated for the Public Eye Award 2005 in the category labour rights
Nominated by: Clean Clothes CampaignIn 2002, the company North Sails Lanka (today GSL Global Sports Lanka Ltd.) in Sri Lanka cancelled the bonus payment to its workers, which had been an essential part of their income. When the staff protested, they were fired and replaced with new personnel. Since then, the Clean Clothes Campaign (CCC) and the local trade union have been striving to obtain re-employment of the dismissed workers, some of whom had been working in the factory for more than ten years. CCC considers independent mediation a solution to the impasse.
