Stand Up for the Right to Freedom of Association and Demonstration
Workers from Chinese factories in Prato, Italy, successfully fought for fair working hours. Shortly after their victory, the Swiss fashion group Richemont, which had been manufacturing luxury leather bags in the region, relocated its production, and the workers lost their jobs. In response, the workers and the SUDD Cobas union took action, attracting the attention of many media outlets. Now, the union is facing an injunction from Montblanc, attempting to prevent SUDD Cobas from taking further action outside Montblanc shops.
