Gina Form Bra update
9 October 2003, Many of members of the CCC network wrote letters
of concern regarding rights violation at Gina Form Bra Co. in
Thailand. In July the CCC was pleased to report that a settlement
was reached between Gina Form management and the Gina Relations
Workers Union. The latest information available from Thailand
in late September continued to be positive. All the court cases
against the Gina Relations Worker Union committee and members
had been withdrawn by management, and the 37 union members who
were the subject of court cases had been paid in accordance with
the decision of the Labor Relations Committee, and reinstated.
All 37 are back at work in their former positions in the factory.
Production at the factory to normal 'forced leave (under Article
75) ended as of the end of August, and orders (mostly from Victoria's
Secret/The Limited) were in production in the factory. For the
time being, management is not causing any problems for the union
or its members, and the 'yellow' Gina Ruamjai Union, used during
the struggle to create an obstacle to GRWU organizing, has continued
to decline, and no longer poses any sort of credible threat to
the GRWU.
