TORONTO – The Steelworkers Humanity Fund, a Canadian organisation which promotes human rights through relief projects, has donated US$50,000 to the Bangladesh Center for Worker Solidarity, as it looks to alleviate some of the financial pressures felt by native garment workers.
“Paid poverty wages for years, the women who make our clothes have no financial savings to draw on. Without work or income, they are now at risk of slipping into abject poverty,” said Ken Neumann, Canadian director of the United Steelworkers and president of the Steelworkers Humanity Fund.
