Haiti Premier Apparel

Following the closure of Haiti Premier Apparel in April 2023, the factory owners were unable to meet 100% of their legally required severance obligations to workers. The factory reported that, at the time of the closure, its customers Cintas and Superior Uniform Group both made contributions for workers’ severance. Additional severance funds were covered by the factory owners. However, approximately 100 factory employees did not receive full payment of severance.

In 2025, and in response to engagement by the WRC, the one remaining buyer, Careismatic Brands, made a contribution to cover the remaining $70,000 still owed to workers at the time of the factory’s closure. This money was distributed to workers in April 2025.
