The Global Union representing workers in the garment industry has appealed to the brands which were sourcing from the failed Hermosa factory in El Salvador to meet with the former workers in order to work out a solution to their plight. 

Gap Inc. and the global union for textiles, the International Textile, Garment and Leather Workers’ Federation are blazing the trail in translating corporate social responsibility into long-term sustainable practice at factory level. In a joint work programme the two are now engaged in the initial stages of developing and promoting a mature system of industrial relations throughout the Gap Inc. supply chain.

The ITGLWF has welcomed the creation of the new International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC), saying it must become the driver of trade union revival everywhere.
