Producing Just Garments Trailer

Producing Just Garments documents the struggle of Salvadoran garment workers to make a dignified living in a sweatshop turned unionized-workers' collective in Soyapongo, El Salvador. The film covers the history of struggle for union recognition with the textile union STIT, and the union's initiative in taking over the day-to-day production of the factory after management pulled out in hopes of destroying the morale of the workers. The film further documents the continuing struggle of one of the only unionized factories in El Salvador, now a workers' cooperative, called Just Garments to survive in the face of financial crisis and anti-union repression. The anti-union practices of the international capital to which Just Garments poses a threat are further illuminated through the struggle of the 550 workers of the former Evergreen factory in their intense battle against an illegal firing and for the compensation they are due.
