Main Content: Clean Clothes Campaign concerns re anti-union activity at Menderes Tekstil, Turkey

In May 2009, Clean Clothes Campaign raised concerns about working conditions and anti-union activities at the Menderes Tekstil factory in Turkey, which produces bed linens for Carrefour, Horizonte, Ikea, Ibena, Kohl's, Mothercare, Otto, Target and Wal-Mart.  Clean Clothes Campaign's appeal is available here.
