Not One More Fire! Organizing Globally ~ Remembering the Triangle Fire

ILRF also awarded the American Federation of Teachers for their work that brings issues of child labor into classrooms around the United States, in an effort to raise awareness and mobilize campaign activities among teachers and students nationwide. 

Finally, United Steelworkers received an award for the passion and leadership they have brought and continue to apply to the fight for workers rights. Their efforts have been critical in helping exploited workers to organize for the first time and participate in training programs.

ILRF was glad to have the chance to honor these important individuals and institutions who have achieved progress in the fight for workers’ rights in the United States and abroad.

Walmart can refuse to accept responsibility for the behavior of its subcontractors. In this case, workers will continue to unite in solidarity for living wages and decent working conditions. Labor rights organizations such as ILRF and SFC will embark in a potent education campaign to ensure that customers are informed of Walmart’s behavior in Bangladesh.
