TAKE ACTION! Please continue send letters to Sears, Wal-Mart, and Target, urging their immediate attention to resolving the workers' situation. The workers demand to be fairly paid for their work. These companies have policies (e.g. http://www.walmartstores.com/supplier/vstand_current_standar ds.html) allegedly precluding them from doing business with sweatshop-type operations. They should not be allowed to talk sweet yet act despicably. * Target Corporation Robert Ulrich, Chairman, CEO 777 Nicollet Mall Minneapolis, MN 55402 * Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. S.

Hoffman Estates, IL 60179 Fax: (847) 286- 7829 Tel: (847) 286-2500 SAMPLE LETTER Dear Mr. Martinez (Mr. Ulrich, Mr. Walton): I am writing to express my concern about sweatshop conditions and labor abuses on the island of American Samoa. I understand that workers at the Daewoosa Samoa garment factory sewed J.C. Penney clothing without receiving minimum wage or overtime pay, and in some cases, no pay at all. I urge you to make sure these workers are fairly paid and to protect the rights of all workers who sew your clothes. Because Daewoosa has shut down, leaving workers stranded without work, food or the means to return to their homeland of Vietnam, I also urge you to ensure the safety and well- being of these workers. I thank you for your attention to this urgent matter and look forward to hearing your response. Sincerely,
