Includes highlights from the Sweatshop Fashion Extravaganza sponsored by Christian Task Force on Central America, the Canadian Auto Workers and the BC Union Label Committee.

Still from Mickey Mouse Goes to Haiti: Haitian garment workers sewing garments for the North American market. They are paid only pennies per hour, have no right to organize, no clean running water, and no sanitary washroom or lunchroom facilities. This video is available from:
The National Labor Committee
Ph: 212 242 3002

And from the National Labor Committee in New York, we excerpt Mickey Mouse Goes to Haiti: Disney and the Science of Exploitation, a video about Haitian workers who make a lot of that swell Disney stuff that your kids want you to buy them for Christmas.
As American bombs fall on Iraq we repeat the Citizen's Weapons Inspection Team segment from last spring.

And locally, a look at the current lock-out of BC Projectionists by Famous Players theatres.
