Below is a list of the companies, brands, and countries that I keep my eye on.  Names listed in red have official boycotts called against them.  (You can download a more printer-friendly list of only the boycotted companies by clicking here.)  Companies with names listed in magenta are not being boycotted.  I have included a summary of reasons for concern next to each parent company, along with initials showing the general reason each is being targeted:

H

Hallmark (HR, L)
Irv Hockaday, CEO
Fax:  (816) 274-7555
info@hallmark.com

Official boycott called? No.

Reasons for Concern:  Hallmark and Neiman Marcus sell gift bags produced by Duro in Rio Bravo, Mexico.  Workers at the Rio Bravo factory have been struggling for better wages and an end to intimidation, sexual assault, and dangerous work conditions.  Duro's actions have violated many provisions of Hallmark's code of conduct, but Hallmark has said that it is "satisfied" with the factory.  Hallmark is Duro's largest customer, buying 15 percent of the factory's total output.  It is time for Hallmark to use its leverage to win dignity for Duro workers.  Please contact Hallmark CEO Irv Hockaday and tell him to respect his own code of conduct.³⁵

Subsidiaries: Monterey Whaling Company, Padres Pub

Official boycott called?  Yes, by HERE.

Reasons for Concern:  The Hilton San Diego Mission Valley and its two restaurants have been placed on HERE's boycott list because of a labor dispute between management and the union.  Please note that this boycott is only aimed at one hotel; you should not boycott the entire Hilton chain.  For more information about this specific dispute, please contact HERE Local 30 (121 Juniper St., San Diego, CA 92101; [619] 233-4373; Fax:  [619] 233-4394).³⁶

Subsidiaries: Kahanu Snack Bar, The Palms

Official boycott called?  Yes, by International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU).

Reasons for Concern:  The Holiday Inn SunSpree Resort Kaua'i, formerly the Kaua'i Resort, locked out more than 100 of its ILWU-represented guest service workers in 1996.  The dispute began when management tried to lower current employees' wages by 9 percent, eliminate family medical coverage, and cut vacation and sickness benefits in half; when the workers refused to agree to these concessions, the hotel locked them out.  The lock-out lasted five months, and although the workers have since returned to work, they are still struggling to win a fair contract.  Workers ask that you do not stay at the resort or eat at its restaurants.  This boycott is aimed specifically at the Holiday Inn SunSpree Resort Kaua'i.  It does not apply to the entire Holiday Inn chain.  For more information, contact Leonard Hoshijo at (808) 949-4161.³⁷

Official boycott called?  Yes, by HERE.

Reasons for Concern:  HERE has placed the Hyatt Regency Sacramento on the boycott list because of a labor dispute between management and the union.  Please note that this boycott is only aimed at this hotel and its four restaurants; you should not boycott the entire Hyatt chain.  For more information about this specific dispute, please contact HERE Local 49 (1824 Tribute Rd., Ste.

Hyundai Motor Company (L)
xs_b@hyundai-motor.com

Official boycott called?   No.

Reasons for Concern:  Located in Tijuana, Mexico, the Han Young factory welds chassis for nearby operations.  Since June of 1997, workers at Han Young have been struggling to win representation for an independent union to get management to bargain a new contract.  Core issues are substandard wages (many skilled welders receive the equivalent of only $4 for a 10- to 11-hour shift) and life-threatening health and safety issues.⁴⁰

(972) 431-100
Fax:  (972) 431-1362
http://www.jcpenneyeservices.com/csrv/frm_generalinquiries.asp

Official boycott called?  No.

Reasons for Concern:  J.C. Penney benefits from indentured servitude in the US territory of Saipan.  (For more information about working conditions there, please see Gap, Inc.)  J.C. Penney is one of a few companies that refuses to settle the class action lawsuit filed by current and former Saipan factory workers.  J.C. Penney has also benefited from sweatshop conditions and indentured servitude in American Samoa.  Like Saipan, Samoa is a US territory whose products are allowed to carry the "Made in the USA" label.  Fortunately, US labor laws do apply in Samoa, but the Korean-owned Daewoosa factory there (which produces for J.C. Penney and Sears, among others) has repeatedly been investigated by the US Department of Labor (DOL).  A few years ago, the DOL fined Daewoosa $24,140 for labor violations at its Samoa factory and ordered the company to pay $151,500 it owed its workers.  In June 2000 the DOL again fined Daewoosa, this time for $213,000 because of violations of minimum wage and overtime standards.  In December 2000 the DOL confiscated Daewoosa's garments under the authority of an act which prohibits the selling and shipping of goods made in violation of US labor laws.  The DOL investigation is ongoing, and the Department of Justice recently began its own independent investigation.  Workers at the factory have been organizing since March 1999, when they held a work stoppage to protest nearly eight weeks without pay.  Daewoosa fired organizers of this event.  These fired workers  have teamed up with current workers to bring a class action lawsuit against Daewoosa.  The company is now claiming that it has no more money to pay its workers, leaving many without jobs unless another company buys the factory.  The economic plight caused by Daewoosa's illegal and immoral policies has resulted in many of the factory's mostly Vietnamese workers' families' homes and farms in Vietnam being repossessed.  The reason:  many of these workers' families took out loans to pay the fee for transport to Samoa from Vietnam.  Now that the workers aren't sending money home, their families cannot pay their creditors.  In addition to not being adequately compensated, workers also complain of verbal and physical abuse at the hands of management. Independent observers have witnessed firsthand young female workers being beaten.  Despite the clear sweatshop conditions at Daewoosa, J.C. Penney has not done anything to change the situation.  Ask J.C. Penney to help the workers to get their pay and, in some cases, to transport them home to Vietnam.  J.C. Penney also sells clothing made in three San Francisco factories that were recently revealed to be sweatshops.  The factories' almost 200 workers, Chinese immigrants who are mostly women, are owed a total of $850,000 in unpaid wages.  So far, four companies that sell clothes made at these sweatshops have agreed to cooperate with the Department of Labor's investigation into unpaid wages.  J.C. Penney joins Sears and Wal-Mart as the only companies that have not promised to cooperate.  Please write J.C. Penney, Sears, and Wal-Mart and ask that they (a) ensure that workers are paid, (b) cooperate with the US government's investigation, and (c) continue to buy clothing from these factories.  (The companies could refuse to accept finished garments from the factories and, thus, avoid having to pay into the Department of Labor's fund that will pay back wages to the workers.)⁴²

(866) 562-7848

Subsidiaries: Basic Editions, bluelight.com, Martha Stewart Everyday, Route 66, Sesame Street (clothing only)

Official boycott called?  No.

Reasons for Concern:  Like its rival Wal-Mart, Kmart benefits from oppressive working conditions and low pay in Burmese sweatshops.  Unlike Wal-Mart, Kmart refuses to even acknowledge that there is a problem with doing business with Burma; so far, Kmart has not answered activists' questions about the company's official policy on Burma.  The only way to find out how much of Kmart's merchandise comes from Burma is to go to stores and look for clothes bearing either the "Made in Burma" or "Made in Myanmar" labels.  (For more information on which brands to look for, click here.)  Kmart also sells clothes made at the Super Knitting factory in Lesotho.  In March 2001 the Lesotho Clothing and Allied Workers Union (LECAWU) filed grievances on behalf of the factory's 600 workers.  The workers complained of being harassed by management.  Management retaliated by locking the workers out on May 2.  They have been unable to return to work ever since, despite a court ruling in their favor.  Please urge Kmart to use its power to end the lockout.⁴⁵

Reasons for Concern:  Kohl's benefits from political repression in Burma.  Workers in that country are often forced to work and are not allowed to stand up for their rights.  Do not buy products with the "Made in Myanmar" label, and ask Kohl's to stop production in Burma.⁴⁶

Official boycott called?   No.

Reasons for Concern: The Farm Labor Organizing Committee (FLOC) has called a national boycott of Mt. Olive products because of the North Carolina-based company's poor treatment of its mostly immigrant workers.  Because of grassroots pressure, 19 Kroger stores in Northwest Ohio have already pulled Mt. Olive products from their shelves; and Columbus, OH, stores are scheduled to follow suit.  Unfortunately, the company has refused to pull Mt. Olive products from the shelves of all of its stores nationwide.  FLOC is not calling for a boycott of Kroger stores, but if you live near or shop at Kroger, please tell the manager that you want the company to respect the Mt. Olive boycott nationwide.⁴⁷

http://www.levistrauss.com/help/askus.asp

Subsidiaries: Dockers, Levi's, Slates

Official boycott called? No.

Reasons for Concern:  Levi Strauss & Co. was one of the first companies to create a corporate code of conduct, which it claimed would protect workers in its factories all over the world.  This move was met with high praise from many in the mainstream media and even lukewarm acknowledgment from labor and human rights advocates.  Soon after, even labor and human rights activists had to applaud Levi Strauss & Co. for pulling factories out of China because of the Maoist government's continued occupation of Tibet and brutal repression of its peoples.  The company vowed never to use factories in China while it still controlled Tibet.  Eight years later, Levi Strauss & Co. has quietly begun producing in China again, and the company's code of conduct is being questioned, mainly because it advocates a 60-hour workweek and does not support a living wage.  Critics say that the code of conduct is not even enforced in its present form, and many workers do not even know the code exists.  Levi Strauss and Co. is also one of only a few Saipan producers that refuses to settle a class action lawsuit brought against exploitative companies by current and former sweatshop workers there.  For more information on the situation in Saipan, please see Gap, Inc.  Levi's also recently announced that it will close its last two American factories, meaning that 3,300 workers will lose their jobs and that Levi's will instead exploit workers in sweatshops in Mexico and China.  Please ask the company to settle the Saipan lawsuit and to turn their closed San Francisco factory into a garment worker and community center instead of a "sweatshop museum," as the company has proposed.⁵⁰

Official boycott called?  No.

Reasons for Concern: The Limited companies, especially Lane Bryant, benefit from indentured servitude in the US territory of Saipan.  For more information about working conditions there, please see Gap, Inc.   The Limited is one of only a few companies that refuses to settle the class action lawsuit filed by current and former Saipan factory workers.  Please be aware that Limited, Inc., no longer owns Abercrombie & Fitch, the Lane Bryant Catalog, or Limited Too.  These are now independent companies and should not be targeted, especially the Lane Bryant Catalog, which has agreed to settle the Saipan lawsuit.  At factories in the Dominican Republic, workers--mostly women--earn 3¢ for every $12 pair of Victoria's Secret panties they sew.  Workers have forced overtime every day, toiling from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.; sometimes, they must work until 10 p.m.  In addition to poor wages and long hours, workers are literally locked in factories and are allowed to take only strictly timed bathroom breaks.  Many workers complain of sore throats and problems breathing because of the heat and the lint that fills the air.  Workers also complain that they are routinely cheated on their overtime pay.  Workers have attempted and failed to start labor unions.  Victoria's Secret fired workers trying to organize labor unions in 1990 and 1992.  When workers were finally able to form a union in 1997, management illegally fired the union's general secretary and refuses to reinstate her.  And conditions aren't much better in the United States.  Inmates at a South Carolina prison also produced lingerie for Victoria's Secret.  Because of government restrictions, prisoners are not even guaranteed the minimum wage and obviously cannot organize labor unions, but that doesn't keep companies like Victoria's Secret from profiting at workers' expense.⁵¹

Fax:  (212) 626-3416
http://www.lizclaiborne.com/lizinc/lizworks/workers/contact.asp

Official boycott called?  No.

Reasons for Concern:  The Choishin and Cimatextiles factories are located in Villa Nueva, Guatemala, just outside of Guatemala City.  Both plants, which produce clothing for Liz Claiborne, are owned by a Korean company called Choi & Shin's.  When unions began trying to organize factory workers, management responded by blackmailing and threatening the lives of union organizers and telling workers that unionization would lead to the factories' closures.  Despite this harassment, union organizers were able to drum up enough support for union recognition and negotiations.  When management realized that its workers were close to achieving union status, it incited anti-union paranoia among other workers.  On Wednesday, July 18, 2001, a group of non-union workers surrounded and assaulted union leaders.  The non-union workers threw bottles and rocks at the union workers and threatened to kill them if they did not resign immediately.  Ten of the union leaders signed letters of resignation.  According to witnesses factory management did nothing to intervene.  The attacked workers were not able to leave safely until two-and-a-half to three hours later, when MINGUA, the UN body charged with overseeing the peace process in Guatemala, arrived.  The attack also drew wider attention, as other NGOs, inspectors from the Guatemalan Labor Ministry, other union organizers, police, and local press showed up later in the afternoon.  Also arriving was COVERCO, the independent monitoring group hired by Liz Claiborne to keep an eye on conditions in the factories.  COVERCO monitors were assaulted by non-union workers the next day.  As a result of official complaints filed by the assaulted workers and international pressure applied by NGOs and concerned individuals, management and union officials came to an agreement on July 25, 2001.  This agreement states that (a) the company will from now on respect workers' right to organize, (b) all workers physically forced to resign will be reinstated without loss of benefits or retaliation, (c) MINGUA will be permitted to enter the factory to monitor company compliance, (d) the company will prosecute those who initiated the violence, and (e) the factory will announce publicly that neither factory will close because of unionization.  The Labor Ministry also announced that both unions will soon become officially recognized under Guatemalan labor laws.  The victory of justice and the fulfillment of workers' wishes to join a union are major steps forward in the fight against sweatshops internationally.  What is most encouraging is that Liz Claiborne itself played a large role in mediating the situation; the company became involved soon after it learned about the assault, and it took the almost unheard-of step of sending a letter to workers stating that Liz Claiborne supports the right of workers to choose which union, if any, represents them.  Please write to Liz Claiborne and thank them for their intervention in this dispute, especially for their letter in support of the workers.  Ask them to urge Choi & Shin's to live up to their agreement and to provide a safe working environment for all workers.  Please also contact the Guatemalan ambassador to the US.  His address is Dr. Ariel Rivera-Irias, Ambassador of Guatemala, 2220 R St., N.W., Washington, DC 20008.  His phone number is (202) 745-4952; his fax, (202) 745-1908.  Thank him for his government's prompt action in this matter and ask that he encourage local authorities to investigate and prosecute those workers and factory managers who participated in or incited violence.  Please be sure to indicate that prosecution of violent anti-unionists is key to the unions' survival in the two factories.⁵²

Official boycott called?  Yes, by Burma Campaign UK and Tourism Concern.

Reasons for Concern: Burma is the target of an international boycott campaign called by Burmese activists who are convinced that their military's repression can only be stopped if that country's economy suffers.  An integral source of revenue for the military is tourism, so Aung San Suu Kyi and other Burmese activists have called on all concerned individuals not to vacation in Burma.  Activists in the UK are targeting Lonely Planet because it has so far refused to take its Burma travel guide off the market.⁵³

Official boycott called?  No.

Reasons for Concern:  The chocolate products we Americans enjoy every day come from cocoa beans, and 43 percent of the world's cocoa beans come from Ivory Coast, an African country in which much of the labor force comprises enslaved young boys.  Modern-day slave traders kidnap boys, often as young as 12-years-old, and sell them to plantation owners, who often beat their slaves with whips, sticks, and bicycle chains.  There is currently no system in place to ensure that our candy bars, ice cream, and other chocolate products come from cocoa beans picked by non-enslaved workers.  When an investigative report first linked American chocolate companies to slave labor in summer 2001, the Chocolate Manufacturers Association promised to begin searching for effective ways to curb its reliance on slave labor.  Almost one year later, no concrete plan is in place, although many US companies have signed onto an agreement promising to end slave labor in the chocolate trade by 2005.  Even if child slavery disappears, many workers in Ivory Coast will continue to suffer poverty wages because of the extremely low value of cocoa.  One solution to this problem is the expansion of Fair Trade Certified chocolate.  Growers of Fair Trade products receive a fixed price for their crops no matter what the competitive market value.  This price guarantees that farmers earn enough to support their families.  Fair Trade has already proven its effectiveness in the coffee industry; almost unknown just five years ago, Fair Trade coffee is now sold in many supermarket chains and even at Starbucks.  Not a single US company in the $13 billion chocolate industry sells Fair Trade products.  Cocoa activists are trying to get all major chocolate sellers to agree to make at least 5 percent of their products Fair Trade.  Please ask M&M/Mars to agree to stop using slave labor by 2005 and to sell Fair Trade chocolate.  (To read the three-part article that broke this story, please visit http://www.realcities.com/mld/krwashington/news/special_sections.)  Until May 31, 2002, you can also vote for the newest color of M&Ms.  Please visit , choose "Write in Your Own Color," and type "Fair Trade Certified!" in the appropriate field.  Global Exchange came up with this idea to use M&M/Mars's own marketing gimmick to raise awareness about labor conditions in Africa.⁵⁴

Official boycott called?  Yes, by Free Burma Coalition.

Reasons for Concern: Burma is the target of an international boycott campaign called by Burmese activists who are convinced that their military's repression can only be stopped if that country's economy suffers.  An integral source of revenue for the military is tourism, so Aung San Suu Kyi and other Burmese activists have called on all concerned individuals not to vacation in Burma.  By maintaining its Renaissance chain in Burma, Marriott refuses to respect this boycott, which has been compared to the boycott initiated by South African activists in the 1980s to pressure that country's government to end apartheid.  Please ask Marriott to stop placing profits ahead of ethics, and don't stay at any of its hotels or eat at any of its restaurants until it pulls out of Burma.  (Please note that Ramada's US hotels are not operated by Marriott and, therefore, should not be boycotted.)  In addition to the general boycott of all Marriott hotels, the San Francisco Marriott and its five restaurants--The Atrium, The Fourth Street Bar and Deli, The Garden Terrace, Kinoko, and The View Restaurant--have been placed on HERE's boycott list because of a labor dispute between management and the union.  For more information about this specific dispute, please contact HERE Local 2 (209 Golden Gate Ave., San Francisco, CA 94102; [415] 864-8770; Fax:  [415] 864-4158).⁵⁵

Official boycott called? No.

Reasons for Concern:  Microsoft used prison labor to package some if its Windows 95 demos.  Perhaps a cause for greater concern, however, is the amount of power Microsoft holds over America--and I'm not just talking about the software industry.  Because it controls such popular sources of information as MSNBC and a great deal of Internet content, the company can basically tell people what to believe.  A very real example of this came recently when Microsoft changed the content of its latest Encarta Encyclopedia edition.  The original editor who compiled the entry about Turkey rightfully included that country's massacre of 1.5 million Armenians from 1915 to 1917.  Under pressure from the Turkish government, Microsoft omitted the section about Turkey's role in the Armenian Genocide.  The reason for Microsoft's rewriting of history is clear; Turkey is an important member of NATO, and Microsoft did not want to publish anything that would upset US-Turkish relations.  The implications of this political move are clear and devastating.  Millions of children all over the world will use Encarta as a trusted source of information, yet they will never learn about the Armenian Genocide.  This same political forgetfulness was cited by Adolf Hitler when he first suggested massacring Jews.  "Who remembers the Armenians?" he asked.⁵⁷

Subsidiaries: Discover Card, Novus

Official boycott called? Yes, by The Ballona Wetlands Land Trust, International Rivers Network, The Sierra Club, and Wetlands Action Network.

Reasons for Concern:  This issue is very complex, but I'll try to sum it up for you.  A few years ago, DreamWorks decided to build new film and sound studios.  The company acquired land that lay within the boundaries of the Ballona Wetlands, a natural wetland in Los Angeles just north of LAX and Westchester and just south of Marina del Rey and Culver City.  When DreamWorks announced its plans, environmental groups quickly criticized the company for trying to develop one of Los Angeles's last natural wetlands and home to many different species including birds, frogs, and even foxes. DreamWorks also attracted the attention of real estate developers, who quickly bought up the rest of the Wetlands, anticipating a fortune to be made.  Well, years later, DreamWorks has pulled out of the deal (please note that DreamWorks is no longer being boycotted), but the development plan of the rest of the Wetlands (known as Playa Vista) is going strong.  Developers have already dug up much of the land, even though there are still legal matters to be determined in multiple court cases brought against these same developers.  If it is completed as planned, the Playa Vista project will completely destroy the fragile ecosystem of the area and rob Los Angeles of yet another of its unspoiled natural habitats.  Traffic and parking will also be a nightmare.  Anyone who has driven past the intersection of Lincoln and Jefferson Boulevards in Los Angeles will know what I mean; traffic in that part of town is horrible as it is.  With literally thousands of new housing and office units, the situation will only worsen, as will other related issues like crime.  Now that DreamWorks is no longer involved in the project, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter is the lead investor in Playa Vista.  The boycott calls for all people who have Discover Cards to cut them up and send them to Morgan Stanley Dean Witter's CEO at the address above.  Also, avoid using ATMs run by Novus (not to be confused with ATMs that simply accept Novus cards).  PLEASE NOTE THAT THE GROUP FRIENDS OF THE BALLONA WETLANDS IS A DECEPTION CREATED BY DEVELOPERS AND LOS ANGELES CITY COUNCILPERSON RUTH GALLANTER, WHO BEGAN SUPPORTING DEVELOPMENT OF THE AREA AFTER DEVELOPERS BOUGHT HER.  In addition to the Playa Vista development in Los Angeles, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter and Citigroup are also investing a lot of money in the Three Gorges Dam in China, which will create a reservoir the length of Lake Superior on the Yangtze River if completed.  This dam has horrendous environmental implications; many fish species' migration routes will be blocked, and the Black Finless Porpoise and the already endangered Baiji Dolphin (the goddess of the Yangtze River, according to legend) are sure to diminish in number.  The huge reservoir will also displace 1.9 million people.  Resettlement of this size is clearly impossible and would only be suggested in a repressively governed country like China.  The reservoir would also destroy both well known and unexplored archaeological sites, including ancient human settlements, tombs, buildings, and steles.⁵⁹

(919) 658-2535

bbryan@mtolivepickles.com

Official boycott called?   Yes, by AFL-CIO, FLOC, Farmworker Ministry Committee of the North Carolina Council of Churches, and North Carolina AFL-CIO.

Reasons for Concern:  Mt. Olive is a large company that packs and processes various foods, including relishes and peppers.  It is most famous, however, for its pickles.  Farmworkers endure 12-hour workdays and often must work six- and seven-day weeks during the growing season.  Because most of the workers are migrant workers, minimum wage standards are not enforced, and workers must live in squalid conditions.  All workers are exposed to dangerous pesticides, and many workers do not have access to toilets or hand-washing facilities.  More than 2,300 farmworkers who work at the company's 68-acre headquarters have asked for the FLOC to represent them.  Workers, the FLOC, and many local religious groups have called a national boycott of all Mt. Olive products in order to force the company to sit down and bargain with the union in good faith.  Please be aware that Mt. Olive products are also sold as house brands at Food Lion and Harris Teeter markets.  If you shop at either Food Lion or Harris Teeter, avoid store brand pickles, relishes, and peppers; they might be Mt. Olive products in disguise.⁶⁰
