Description

May 18, 2013--Since January 2013, Advan Shoes workers were forced to stop working due to the shutdown of their factory. To defend their right to work, the workers, led by Bluestar Workers Labor Union (BWLU), built a picket line and have filed necessary legal actions to the management and concerned government agencies but the factory remains closed to date. In 2009, the union successfully pushed for their basic rights through their Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) when they conducted a strike in 2008.
