GO Haiti (Garments of Haiti)

In late August 2022, more than 800 workers at the apparel factory, GO Haiti (Garments of Haiti) picked up severance checks totaling $330,000, the equivalent of almost three months’ wages per worker, that were paid for by Hanesbrands, the US apparel company that had been the factory’s main buyer. Hanesbrands informed the WRC that it was stepping in to provide the funds after the factory’s owner decided to close the plant, in order to ensure that the workers who had made its goods would receive all their legally required severance.
