Solidarity Vigil for Sri Lankan Garment Worker

Our friends at the Coalition for Labor Union Women (CLUW) and Global Labor Justice have organized a solidarity vigil on Wednesday, December 17, at 5:30pm at the Triangle Fire Memorial (23 Washington Place, NYU Brown Building), for a Sri Lankan garment worker, Paramsivan Pushpalatha, who died after seeking medical attention at a Brandix factory in Sri Lanka (supplier to Victoria’s Secret).

Since Pushpalatha’s death, her family, co-workers and union leaders have faced retaliation and intimidation from Brandix. They have asked supporters to join them. Spread the word to your friends and supporters of garment workers!

JOIN us on December 17 (note the date was changed from 12/18 to 12/17) at 23 Washington Place at 5:30 pm, to honor this worker’s memory and call on Brandix to stop the cover-up of her tragic death.
