Abstract
"The report is based on a unique collaboration between MSN and local NGOs, such as the Honduran Independent Monitoring Team (EMIH). It combines on-the-ground expertise of local groups, who carried out extensive interviews with workers, with MSN’s research on trade agreements, corporate restructuring and potential leverage points to promote improved labour practices. As a result, it offers new insights into the ways in which a Canadian company is re-organizing its production in response to changing trade regimes, and how this is affecting the workers themselves (in terms of work intensity, length of the work-day, wages and discipline, amongst other aspects). This report is essential reading for researchers, policy-makers and activists in Canada and elsewhere who are interested in the promotion of corporate responsibility and ensuring improvements for workers as world trade evolves. Its availability in Spanish as well as English will ensure that it becomes a useful tool for Latin American researchers and worker rights advocates, and will no doubt promote further collaboration among counterpart organizations in the North and South."
