GUESS

Contact 1 -800-39- GUESS and tell them to clean up their sweatshops.

DISNEY

A Haitian worker earns on average 28 cents an hour. A Haitian worker makes one-half of one percent of the sales price of the garment! Disney should not leave Haiti, but should stay and guarantee the workers their rights and open their factories to independent human rights organizations to monitor.
