Fruit of the Loom once set a global standard for workers’ rights, making headlines for improving conditions in Honduras. But today, the company is devastating thousands of workers by closing unionized garment factories, and reversing historic gains in the industry.
Workers, students, and consumers are fighting back.

Fruit of the Loom CEO Jeff Cohen has failed unionized garment workers in Honduras
Under the leadership of CEO Jeff Cohen, Fruit of the Loom is backtracking on worker rights. Instead of continuing Fruit of the Loom’s commitment to respecting labor rights, Cohen is adopting a union-busting agenda that prioritizes profit over people. Jeff Cohen’s decision to close Fruit of the Loom’s last two unionized garment factories in Honduras undermines the progress made for fair working conditions, not only for the garment workers at Confecciones Dos Caminos and Jerzees Nuevo Dia, but for all workers in Honduras.
