Subject: Your name: Your organization: Your email address: Dear Mr. Eisner: A year ago, at Disney’s annual shareholders’ meeting in Denver, you stated in response to a question regarding the Shah Makhdum factory in Bangladesh that “…those women did a fantastic job... and we support that.” For eight years Disney garments were produced in this factory under abusive conditions. It was wrong for Disney to cut and run, pulling your work from the factory after the young women who sewed your Disney garments asked that their fundamental rights be respected. These women need these jobs, only they want to be treated as human beings and not animals. Now that the Shah Makhdum factory has been cleaned up and has taken many concrete steps to guarantee that the rights of the workers will finally be respected, isn't this the time to reward a factory like Shah Makhdum, not punish it? It is very likely that conditions at the Shah Makhdum factory are actually better than prevailing conditions in most of the over 10,000 factories Disney uses around the world. For example, Disney garments are currently being sewn at the Niagra Textiles factory in Bangladesh, where women are forced to work 14 to 19 hours a day, seven days a week for wages as low as 11 cents an hour and $5.28 a week. Physical punishment is common. In fact, on January 19, when a group of Disney workers asked that their wages be paid on time, management responded by calling in gang members. Twenty-two workers were badly beaten and eight were imprisoned. All 22 were fired. At the Foreway factory in China, workers forced to toil 18 to 20.5 hours a day producing Disney toys seven days a week, with just 15 days off a year- for wages of 16.5 cents an hour. At the extreme, workers can be at the factory up to 130 hours a week. Similar to the Niagra factory, when the workers in China asked to be paid their wages on time, Foreway management responded by firing 50 workers and withholding one month’s back wages as an additional punishment. Mr. Eisner, the worst thing Disney could do would be to now also pull your work from the Niagra factory in Bangladesh or from Foreway in China. The workers desperately need these jobs. What they are asking for is for Disney to work with the factory to improve conditions. Once again, I urge you to return work to the much-improved Shah Makhdum factory. Surely, there must be at least several out of the 10,000 Disney licensees, who share a commitment to human rights and would be anxious to seize this win-win opportunity. Perhaps all they are waiting for is a strong message from you. Please do not miss this chance to do the right thing.
