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:

Taco Bell Corp. (L)
Emil J. Brolick, President and Chief Concept Officer
Taco Bell Corp.
17901 Von Karman
Irvine, CA 92614
(800) 822-6235
(949) 863-4500
Fax:  (949) 863-4537

Official boycott called?  Yes, by Coalition of Immakolee Workers (CIW) and Mexico Solidarity Network.

Reasons for Concern:  Taco Bell, one of the largest fast food chains in the US, has recently been sued by current and former employees for cheating its workers out of overtime pay in California, Oregon, and Washington.  Thousands of workers claim that they were regularly forced to work overtime without pay.  Former managers and assistant managers also revealed that they were instructed to illegally alter timecards without employees' consent or knowledge.  This falsification of records allowed Taco Bell to "save" thousands of dollars.  Taco Bell is also being targeted by CIW for benefiting from unfair labor practices in the fields.  Tomato pickers in Immokalee, Florida, work long hours for pitiful wages.  These workers want a living wage and believe that initiating a dialog with major corporate buyers of Immakolee tomatoes could result in a successful campaign.  Due to the huge volume of Immokalee tomatoes it buys, Taco Bell could almost double picking piece rate of workers if it were simply to voluntarily pay one cent more per pound of tomatoes.  (This assumes, of course, that growers agree to pass this penny on to pickers.)  Taco Bell can easily afford the added cost; its sales topped $5.2 billion in 1999.  Please contact Taco Bell and urge them to meet with CIW workers to discuss this and other creative ways to win justice for farmworkers.⁹⁰

Tainan Enterprises (L)
Fax:  011-886-6-230-6722
lindy@mail.tainantn.com.tw

Official boycott called?  No.

Reasons for Concern:  Textile workers at a Tainan factory in El Salvador face forced overtime, harassment, and low wages.  Workers struggled to organize a union for two years, but after their union was officially recognized in July 2001, management announced that it would close the factory.  Tainan claims that closure is due to a lack of orders, but the union has evidence that Tainan has been receiving orders and sending them to other factories.  The timing of the announcement, along with the fact that management forced workers either to resign with benefits or be suspended, all but proves that Tainan is trying to bust the union.  Tainan is a large company; it owns factories in Cambodia, China, El Salvador, Indonesia, and Taiwan.  One of the closed factory's largest purchasers was Gap.  Please contact the Tainan and ask that it immediately reopen the factory, rehire the workers, and negotiate in good faith with the union.⁹¹

Official boycott called?  No.

Reasons for Concern: Talbots benefits from indentured servitude in the US territory of Saipan.  For more information about working conditions there, please see Gap, Inc.  Talbots is one of only six companies that refuses to settle the class action lawsuit filed by current and former Saipan factory workers.⁹²

Subsidiaries: Dayton Hudson, Dayton's, Hudson's, ILoveaDeal.com, Marshall Field's, Mervyn's, Seasons, Signals, Target, target.direct, Wireless

Official boycott called?  No.

Reasons for Concern:  Target is exploiting workers in Saipan (see Gap, Inc.), being one of the few companies that has not settled the lawsuits brought against it and other companies that benefit from sweatshops staffed by indentured servants in the US territory.  Because of international pressure, both the Chentex and Mil Colores factories in Nicaragua, which produce clothing for Target and its subsidiaries, have acquiesced to worker demands and have re-instated fired workers and agreed to stop attacking union organizing activities.  These victories prove that a concerted effort by concerned citizens does have an effect on improving the lives of workers, even if they live halfway around the world.  We can now focus more intently on pressuring Target to settle the Saipan lawsuits and win justice for workers there.⁹³

Subsidiaries: Titan Tire Corp., Titan Wheel Corp.

Official boycott called?  Yes, by USWA.

Reasons for Concern:  Since 1998, workers have been on strike at Titan Tire factories in Des Moines, Iowa, and Natchez, Mississippi.  The local unions initiated strikes because of Titan's repeated violation of US labor laws.  Titan's abuses include moving jobs to avoid a union contract; canceling health insurance for pregnant women, the disabled, and retirees; refusing to bargain in good faith; discriminating against union members; and trying to permanently replace striking workers.  Workers also complain of being forced to work up to 60 days without a day off and impossible production quotas.  Titan's behavior is hardly surprising.  It refused to allow state safety inspectors carrying warrants into factories to inspect them, and it has twice been found in contempt of court.  The Natchez factory currently owes its workers $27 million in back-pay, and that amount increases $1 million each month.  Titan sells tires to agricultural equipment companies like AGCO, Case, John Deere, Kubota, New Holland, and Valmont.  Consumers can also buy its tires directly.⁹⁴

Subsidiaries: Marshalls, T.J. Maxx

Official boycott called?  No.

Reasons for Concern:   Factory workers at the Ladybird Garment Co. in Samutprakan, Thailand--which produces clothing for Auka Collezioni, Guess, Gymboree, Marshalls, PreNatal, and TJ Maxx--have been struggling with their employer since 1994, when they organized a union.  On April 19, 2001, after seven years of struggle, 386 workers completely fed up with management's intransigence submitted their demands for higher wages, more regular hours, and better working conditions.  Ladybird has fought aggressively against workers' wishes, including unionization, going so far as to promise workers free clothing and bonuses if they withdrew support for the union.  The company has also engaged in fraud, distributing in the union's name a fake announcement calling for workers to be patient.  On June 8, 2001, management locked out 77 workers who were leaders or affiliates of the union; management subsequently failed to appear at a scheduled negotiation session on June 15, 2001.  All workers have since returned to work, and the union has successfully negotiated a contract with Ladybird, but management has still failed to implement agreed upon conditions; it still does not provide evening transportation for workers, and the factory lacks qualified medical personnel, which is required both by Thai law and the new union contract.  The company continues to discriminate against union members, not allowing them to work overtime and physically separating them from other workers.  As a major customer of Ladybird, TJX has both the responsibility and the power to improve working conditions at the factory.  Please write TJX and ask the company to do everything in its power to pressure its contractor Ladybird to stop discriminating against members of the union and to fully implement the negotiated union contract.⁹⁵

Official boycott called?  No.

Reasons for Concern:  Like Microsoft and Victoria's Secret, TWA has benefited from prison labor.  During one flight attendants' strike, inmates at a California prison took flight reservations for TWA.  Besides the obvious immorality of using imprisoned workers to cut costs, TWA showed disregard for the right to organize by turning to prison labor during a labor dispute.⁹⁶

Reasons for Concern:  Despite repeated urgings from unions and human rights groups around the world, lingerie and swimwear manufacturer Triumph refuses to stop production at its factory in Rangoon, Burma.  Boycott all products with the label "Made in Myanmar."⁹⁷

Troika Entertainment (L)

Subsidiaries: The Sound of Music

Official boycott called?  Yes, by AEA.

Reasons for Concern:  The AEA has called for a boycott of Troika Entertainment and its current touring production of The Sound of Music because the company has refused to honor actors' request for union contract.  Most of the show's 30 actors make only one-third of the AEA's minimum rates and receive no health benefits or pension payments.⁹⁸

Unocal Corp. (E, HR, L)
Charles Williamson, CEO
Unocal Corp.
2141 Rosecrans Blvd., Ste. 4000
El Segundo, CA 90245
(310) 726-7600

Official boycott called?  Yes, by Free Burma Coalition.

Reasons for Concern:  Unocal is one of the few oil companies still doing business in Burma, the Southeast Asian country that suffers extreme repression at the hands of a brutal military dictatorship.  The government is guilty of human rights violations ranging from murdering peaceful protesters to refusing to recognize the results of free elections in 1990, which Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) won.  Because of the brutality of the dictatorship, Suu Kyi and other activists have determined that the only solution to the problem is to call on all countries and companies to boycott Burma completely.  Unocal is one of the companies that has refused to leave Burma.  The California-based oil company helped push through a destructive pipeline that threatens to destroy Burmese and Thai forests, including the habitats of Asian elephants.  In order to complete construction of the pipeline, the Burmese military forcibly removed and relocated three separate native peoples from their traditional homelands.  What's worse, the government used slave labor to clear the land and construct the pipeline.  Reports of inhumane treatment--including torture and rape--at the hands of soldiers who guard the pipeline continue to come in, and Unocal's only response to the problem has been to claim that it is helping the people of Burma.  The implication is that the Burmese cannot help themselves and that foreign influence is needed to civilize the savage population.  It all sounds arrogantly colonial and not unlike the arguments of white slaveholders in the South before the Civil War.  There is no real way to boycott Unocal products, as the company has sold all of its refineries and gas stations.  (The 76 logo still belongs to Unocal, but the company has no connection to any consumer products bearing that logo.)  Besides not buying Unocal stock, the only way to let the company know that you disagree with their actions is to write to them.  Urge them to stop doing business in Burma and to conduct a full, impartial investigation into the reports of slavery and other human rights violations that followed the construction of the pipeline.⁹⁹

Fax:  (501) 273-8980
http://www.walmart.com/cservice/cu_commentsstore.gsp?cu_heading=15

Subsidiary: Sam's Club

Official boycott called?  No.

Reasons for Concern:  Despite continuous urgings from labor rights advocates, religious leaders, and the general public, Wal-Mart refuses to make public the list of factories producing its goods around the world.  Consumers have the right to know where products are made.  Recently, Wal-Mart was removed from the prestigious Domini 400 index of socially-responsible companies because the company continued to sell clothes made in Burmese sweatshops.  This embarrassment and widespread activist pressure have forced Wal-Mart to publicly promise not to sell anything made in Burma until political and labor conditions in that country improve.  You can help ensure that Wal-Mart keeps its promise by visiting local Wal-Mart stores and looking for clothes bearing either the "Made in Burma" or "Made in Myanmar" labels.  (For more information on pressuring Wal-Mart to keep its promise, click here.)  In addition to benefiting from sweatshop labor, Wal-Mart is responsible for driving many smaller stores out of business; the sudden appearance of Wal-Marts in most cities has damaged local economies.  Wal-Mart undersells smaller businesses and, subsequently, limits the consumers' choices in these areas.  Wal-Mart also employs misguided methods to "improve" society:  Wal-Mart sells censored versions of popular music in an effort to protect children yet it unabashedly sells pistols, rifles, and other firearms--far more dangerous to our youth than music.  In fall 2002 an Oregon jury found Wal-Mart guilty of violating state and federal wage laws by forcing its associates to work off-the-clock.  The company faces similar suits in 30 other states.  Wal-Mart 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.  Wal-Mart joins J.C. Penney and Sears as the only companies that have not promised to cooperate.  Please write Wal-Mart, J.C. Penney, and Sears 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.)¹⁰⁰

Walt Disney Co. (HR, L)
Michael Eisner, CEO
Walt Disney Co.
500 S. Buena Vista St.
Burbank, CA 91521
(818) 560-1000
Fax:  (818) 560-1930

Official boycott called?  No.

Reasons for Concern:  Two campaigns are focused on the Walt Disney Corporation.  Co-op America's Disney Action Campaign advocates for Disney to implement a policy that eliminates sweatshop labor.  Disney licenses about 3,000 manufacturers in 40 countries.  The campaign urges the company to make periodic wage adjustments to workers, provide for independent monitoring of supplies, verify that problems identified in audits have been addressed, provide annual reports to shareholders and/or customers on progress toward complying with the code of conduct, ensure a sustainable wage, and offer incentives to suppliers to comply with company standards.  The Disney/Haiti Justice Campaign focuses specifically on improving working conditions for workers in Haiti who produce Disney clothes.  Disney workers in Haiti earn 28¢ an hour and frequently work long hours in harsh conditions.  The campaign is urging Disney to negotiate directly with Haitian workers and ensure Disney subcontractors meet their workers' demands for a living wage, a guaranteed right to collective bargaining, improved working conditions, an end to indiscriminate layoffs, and an end to repressive practices in the factories such as firings for union organizing.  On June 18, 2001, Disney narrowly beat out Wal-Mart to win last year's Sweatshop Retailer of the Year Award; the award is cosponsored by the Maquila Solidarity Network and Oxfam Canada.  In addition to human rights and labor abuses, Disney is also contributing to the destruction of culture.  Like no other company, Disney has infiltrated almost every part of our society.  Moreover, Disney has cashed in on and encouraged rampant consumerism in our society.  Anyone with young children will know what I mean.  Disney comes out with a new movie--actually a rehashed version of an older story--every year, and parents clamor to buy their children the newest in Disney apparel.  Meanwhile, Disney is buying up media outlets, cartoons, and sports teams; changing names and logos; and ultimately making our society into a cookie cutter home of conformity.¹⁰¹

Subsidiary: Jet Equipment & Tools, Inc.

Official boycott called?  Yes, by IBT.

Reasons for Concern:  Jet Equipment, a Washington-based company owned by a Swiss firm, refused to agree to a first contract with its 22 unionized warehouse workers and traffic clerks.  Workers struck after months of trying to negotiate a contract, and they called a boycott in August 1998.  Jet has used strikebreakers ever since the day after the workers struck.  This is especially reprehensible since Swiss law forbids the replacement of striking workers; the Swiss company is taking advantage of US labor laws, which are more lax regarding unions.  More than 40 Seattle area political, religious, and community leaders have asked the Swiss company to come to a settlement and reinstate the workers.  Please boycott all Jet brand power and hand tools for metal and wood-working.  Contact John A. Williams, Secretary-Treasurer for IBT Local 117, at (206) 441-4860 for more information.¹⁰²

Official boycott called?  No.

Reasons for Concern:  Some of the clothing sold in Warner Bros. stores is made in Burma (also called Myanmar), a country being boycotted because of its repressive military.  Do not buy new products with the label "Made in Myanmar," and ask Warner Bros. to stop benefiting from political repression; ask them to stop using Burmese factories.¹⁰³

Richard M. Kovacevich, CEO
Wells Fargo & Co.
420 Montgomery St.
San Francisco, CA 94104
http://wellsfargo.com/feedback

Official boycott called?  Yes, by USWA.

Reasons for Concern:  On October 3, 1997, 1,100 Steelworkers in Pueblo, Colorado, struck at CF&I Steel, a subsidiary of Oregon Steel Mills, Inc. These workers were protesting flagrant and repeated violations of US labor law.  On August 17, the company went on trial to answer charges that it had violated federal law well over 100 times before, during, and after the strike.  Oregon Steel's primary means of financing its labor dispute and continued lawbreaking is a $125 million revolving line of credit provided by a consortium of banks headed by Wells Fargo.  Because of Wells Fargo's role in financing the dispute, the bank has been placed on the AFL-CIO's national boycott list. Oregon Steel is an outlaw corporation and Wells Fargo is providing the guns and ammunition for their war on working people.  The steelworkers ask that concerned individuals cancel all accounts with Wells Fargo and ask the bank to stop supporting union-busting.  If you write a letter to Wells Fargo, please send a copy to United Steelworkers of America, AFL-CIO Western Region, 1355 Sutter St., Ste. 105, San Francisco, CA 94109.¹⁰⁴

Willamette River Organics (L)
Ellis Hester
Willamette River Organics
17595 Lower Island Rd., S.E.
Dayton, OR 97114

Official boycott called?  No.

Reasons for Concern: When Willamette River Organic farm worker Margarito Diaz recently demanded to take a break from his job, he was fired outright by the company.  Because this is a smaller company, writing a letter demanding that the company enter into good faith discussions with the local farm worker union (PCUN) may be more effective that boycotting the company's products.  What is specifically distressing  is that Willamette River is an organic company, meaning its target consumer is the informed person concerned about the danger of pesticides.  In other words, consumers choose organically grown produce because they want poison-free foods.  Consumers should know, though, that Willamette River Organics are not exploitation-free.¹⁰⁶
