Sponsored by USAS, I listened to a woman who had worked in the Jerseez factory describe the situation there. This is a victory for the workers, first and foremost, but it is a victory for all souls who believe in building worker power across the globe. Thank you USAS for putting your resources into this campaign and good luck to our brothers and sisters in Honduras. Solidarity forever.
