Garment Workers in Haiti Demand 500 Gourdes – 21 Days until Decision

The minimum wage demanded by garment workers in Haiti is almost nothing compared to the lowest wage allowed by law in the United States: Only $11.50/day or $1.44/hour. But it will go a long way to improving the lives of these workers. The current minimum wage is only 300 gourdes (85 cents an hour), and even that is not being paid by the factories. Most receive only 200 gourdes (57 cents). No one can survive on this.

SOLIDARITY in the fight for 500 gourdes!
