Take Action

Tell Hugo Boss: Put our Union Brother back to work!
Hugo Boss is sticking to their guns on brother Tom Vannurden (Unite/Here member). He is a disabled veteran that Hugo Boss hired and later fired for lack of production. The company's position seems to be that since they went through all the steps before termination that they're justified. The case is going to arbitration. Please call Mike Hagan at (912) 880-5200 and tell him to put this brother back to work now!

Wal-Mart's Sustainability Swindle:
Wal-Mart has been touting its role as an environmental leader since 2005, when it released it's three point plan for sustainability. Since then, Wal-Mart's global CO2 emissions have risen significantly, and Lee Scott has made the frank admission "We are not green."

We need you to help set the record straight in the media. Write your local media outlets today, and tell them about Wal-Mart's "Sustainability Swindle."
