- Arts
Listen to the 60th edition of Free City Radio.
On the show this week we hear from social activist Bob Jeffcott one of the founders of the Maquila Solidarity Network (MSN) who speaks about the contemporary work taking place to highlight the struggles of garment sector workers. We hear about the origins of the MSN's work in opposing labour place injustices surrounding corporate production models within the Maquila work place within Mexico. Extending from that Bob speaks about global campaigns today, including the work of Students Against Sweatshops, to highlight the systemic injustices that garment sector workers face globally and the networks of solidarity globally working to address this reality.
The work of the MSN is described this way: "The MSN is a labour and women's rights organization that supports the efforts of workers in global supply chains to win improved wages and working conditions and greater respect for their rights."
