Caught Using Child Labour, Wal-Mart Cannot Run Away From its Responsibilities, Say Anti-Sweatshop Groups

The Canadian Labour Congress (CLC), Maquila Solidarity Network (MSN) and Quebec Coalition Against Sweatshops (Coalition quebecoise contre les ateliers de misere)...demand that Wal-Mart take responsibility for the use of child labour at two Bangladeshi garment factories... A Radio Canada expose...revealed that 10-14 year-old children were working in two garment factories in Bangladesh making clothes for Wal-Mart Canada. According to Catherine Vaillancourt-Laflamme of the Quebec Coalition Against Sweatshops, Wal-Mart has reacted to the expose by announcing it is cutting and running from the situation rather than helping to eliminate the future use of child labour at the factories and ensuring that children currently working there have other alternatives.
