What: Sweatshop workers are coming to the US that have suffered significantly
because of their treatment by Wal-Mart suppliers in Colombia, Nicaragua and

speaking tour is part of an ongoing campaign to hold Wal-Mart accountable for
their sweatshop conditions around the world sponsored by International Labor
Rights Fund.
Who: There will be three international workers to share their experiences working for Wal-Mart.
Flory Arevalo from the Philippines produces Wal-Mart shirts for No Boundaries and White Stag
at the Chong Won Fashion, Inc. which is a Korean-owned garment factory. Ms. Arevalo is the

Damaris Meza Guillen from Nicaragua works at a factory called Mil Colores, S.A. and produces the
Faded Glory jeans sold in Wal-Mart. She has worked there for about 2 years and is a member of the
independent union at her factory. She also has years of experience in the apparel industry and is a
strong defender of workers rights.
Stella Inés Orjuela from Colombia has worked for 7 years on a flower plantation called Splendor
Flowers which is owned by a subsidiary of Dole. About 80% of the flowers produced at the
