98. The Maquila Solidarity Network on El Salvador garment sector workers struggles for justice

Listen to the 98th edition of Free City Radio that focuses on the campaigning by the Maquila Solidarity Network to support garment sector workers in El Salvador who have been campaigning within the context of the pandemic for unpaid wages. This workers struggle takes place within the context of Industrias Florenzi closing down a garment sector company in El Salvador which was producing medical scrubs for a subsidiary manufacturer for Disney which owns the rights for medical scrubs produced in line with the branding of the show Grey's Anatomy. The Maquila Solidarity Network outlined the demand in this way : "The Industrias Florenzi workers and allies demand that Disney, which owns Grey’s Anatomy, and its vendor, Barco Uniforms, ensure the workers who made their product receive the $1.3 million they are owed."
