NLC`s Letter to Metro Group asking them not to Cut and Run

…Dear Dr. [Eckhard ] Cordes [Chairman of the Management Board and CEO, Metro Group]…There is something terribly wrong about pulling Metro Group’s work from the R.L. Denim [part of Jeans Express Limited] plant at the exact moment that the factory is being cleaned up and workers rights respected…Given Metro Group’s long history with R.L. Denim, how can you possibly justify pulling your work from the factory now that significant worker rights improvements are underway..? Please do the right thing and restore all of Metro Group’s orders to the R.L. Denim factory… [Metro Group has indicated it will respond following completion of its investigation.]
