When Even The Dominican Republic Is Too Expensive...

This post is for my friends over at the blog Evolving Excellence, which has been getting some well-deserved attention lately from a range of blogs (some of it from me over at Techdirt).

Anyway, this morning I saw the news that Hanes is planning to move 5300 jobs to lower cost markets.   Typical?  Sort of:

The underwear and apparel maker said Wednesday it will close plants affecting nearly 5,000 employees, mostly in Mexico and the Dominican Republic. Positions in Canada, the United States and Puerto Rico also will be eliminated.

Going forward, the company will open up more plants in lower-cost South American and Asian countries.  The stock is up on the news, because Wall Street, of course loves the idea:

"The math works," Morgan Stanley analyst Brian McGough wrote in a research note. "This is completely in line with the longer-term plan to right-size the cost structure of this business."

Hey Brian, did you know that the word gullible isn't in the dictionary? 

What are we to make of any company that finds the Dominican Republic labor market too expensive?  According to the CIA, the GDP per capita is about $8,400 in that country.  And seeing as the company seems set on jumping on whatever country has the lowest labor costs, how long can we expect it to stay in the countries that it's going to?  How long before the next round of labor cuts (and attendant "one-time" charges).

Look, none of this rant is motivated by any bleeding heart or anti-globalization sympathies.  It's never nice when someone loses their job, but that's not my main beef . I'm just wondering why people would think that the company is exhibiting sound practices by getting on this treadmill, rather than, say, pursuing more efficient industrial practices.

(disclosure: Given the runup in shares, I may take out a small, speculative short position in the company.  If nothing else, this will force me to pay attention to it and test my sense that Wall Street's love of moves like this is misguided).

L'objectif de nos démarches envers vous consiste à vous informer d'une situation critique que nous vivions en Haiti , nous les ouvriers victimes de la CD APPAREL S.A depuis le quatre Mai 2007 c'est que : FRANTZ PILORGE [propriétaire de la Cd Apparel] de complicité avec le secteur privé Haiti , la bourgeoisie haitienne et les dirigeants de Hanes [HBI] font tout pour maintenir les ouvriers dans la discrimination et la misère après la fermeture brutale et illegale de l'entreprise par Hanes sans préavis, refusent de nous dédomager et reparer . De plus FRANTZ PILORGE a fait savoir aux ouvriers que Hanes ne veut pas payer les ouvriers par motif de discrimination raciale et la question de couleur, et parcequ'ils sont des noirs haitiens de plus, dit-il, qu'à chaque fermeture d'un plant , les responsables de Hanes se font toujours le devoir de dédomager les employés selon l'exigence de la legislation sociale internationale du travail et le code of conduct de Hanesbrands donc si après quatre années d'excellence et de travail accompli que les ouvriers ont fournis à cette compagnie americaine si encore elle ne veut pas reparer les ouvriers de Cd Apparel S.A en Haiti il considère que c'est un crime contre l'humanité et une violation flagrante de la protection et du droit des travailleurs car dit-il : Cd Apparel s.a dont le propriétaire principal Frantz Pilorge est une entreprise ayant un contrat direct avec la compagnie internationale "Saralee / Hanesbrands [HBI] et que l'organisation " Wrap Apparel" a justifiée legale et formelle par le numero de certification 5382 ; à ce point de vue juridique : La legislation sociale internationale et le Code of conduct en matière du travail font obligation à la compagnie directrice de dédomager les employés une fois resilié leur contrat c'est dans cette optique que nous tenons d'exiger justice et réparation de la part de Hanes pour prix des quatre années de performance et d'excellence réalisées pour elle tout en stipulant que Cd Apparel s.a reste et demeure l'entreprise la plus productive de de Hanesbrands en matière d'efficience ...C'est pourqoi avoue-t-il que Hanes l'a fait pour ST-Domingue, Porto-Rico, Mexique ,Canada et les Plants aux Etats-Unis ; à cette fin il conclut que tous les defenseurs des droits humains et les responsables des organizations syndicales doivent interpeler leur conscience pour faire pression sur les decideurs de Hanes de payer ces malheureux ouvriers outre d'empêcher ce crime odieux !!!

Responsibles of the Hanes brands,
The comitee of workers of CD Apparel, at building #31, parc industrial (sonapi) HAITI joins their lawer, Jorice Oremil to greet the differences national organization and international for their help and to their enterprise fight by the said workers realize to damages.
Note that the boss of CD Apparel Frantz Pilorge came in Haiti after some meetings with the leaders responsible of Hanes and he has made the workers know that the bosses of Hanes,such as : Richard noll, Gerald evens,Micheal Jordand ………
Are vampires who don’t cease to exploit the workers around the word.
Speaking of Haiti he make understand that the Haitians workers are victims of racial discrimination. This enterprise “CD Apparel” has been congratulated by the same leaders for its efficiency and it’s products without any others .
The Haitians bosses put themselves to the bosses of Hanes side to exploit more the poor Haitian workers .
Lots of companies around the wold have been compensated with discussion such as:
Dominican Republic :3millions dollars us
Porto-Rico =$18.000000 US
Mexico :=$ 27.000000US
Canada : big millions
USA : big millions
And Haitians workers suffer until now and the workers of this company are left to their own devices.
These workers can’t send their children to school , pay the rent not to say sanitary cares about fity thousand (50000) workers arrange themselves already for a strike which aims at two objectives:
1-Ask Hanes Brands to compensate the workers of CD Apparel
2-Ask the Haitian parliamentaries to note the law on minimum wage.
We, workers of the cd apparel let us learn that some bosses of the company Hanes Brands such as: Richard Noll, Gerard Evens, Jorge Oliva from WRAP and others ally themselves with the haitians employers to know: the Bakers, the Apaids, and Richard Coles to prevent to the employees of CD Apparel to obtain their damages and repairs as Hanes does it always for the others plants.For your information, we say that :
Haitian government for the coming days will arrest certain other bosses for corruption and contreband , after the brandt , the Boulos , it will be the Baker’s and Richard Coles, the Apaid’s , Madsen, Acra, Meuz turn . This is the reason we want to ask the persons in charge of hanes to divorce with these employers in order not to to be considered as accomplice in the file of the workers of cd apparel because the state haitian [René Preval] will follow: authors and accomplices in this so national one as international file if hanes refuses, she will be considered as social danger for all the workers of the entire world.
We are waiting fo Hanes investigation in Haiti to release this crisis.
We write the American congress to take action to close the Hanes enterprises.
The workers of CD Apparel have been waiting and expecting that the leaders of Hanes will not shut the door in their face and will satisfy the workes

By the presente, we, the workers victims of the CD Apparel in Haiti want to attract the attention of the public opinion nationnal and international that the company Hanesbrands inc. (Hbi) is liveliness of itself in a manner disnonest defend when she declare that the work which is done in Haiti through internet by the workers is a companion of denigrement and of slander. By there, Hanes wants to hide the truth and destroy the light on the bad situation of the workers of the CD Apparel that itself caused for the decision to close in a manner brutal and illegal the CDApparel (HG) was taken by the persons in charge of Hanes May 4 2007 since this day more one than 500 workers are on the paved having Heavy responsibilities a lot money for bank and children to send to the school. They want to be damaged as all the others plants. We want sharply that the defenders of the human rights and the representants of the union organizations as well as the bosses of Hanes send their delegations in Haiti to CD Apparel s.a, Industrial Park (SONAPI) #31 in order to meet the workers for their information and to do the light on the question because carries it workers remained opened to all negotiation...
Greetings to all !!! 2-To the attention of the persons in charge of the company HANES Brands.
that already does more than four month than the workers have in their possession close to 480.000 T shirt without counting the materials and incidental such as: boxes, cartons, labels, machine etc; on which these is carried the logo of your company and with these logo one all can do without forgetting some lots of work which have been put in deviation. The haitian social legislation in his item gives legal provision to the workers to seize the goods, furnish and buildings while awaiting that the parties find a compromise that their permit of resolve the conflict. The code of conduct and the social legislation american done obligations to the company Hanes to compensate the workers of CD APPAREL as this some is the case for: Puerto Rico, Mexico, Canada, U.S.A and the last one in dates the Dominican republic. This is in this perspective that the workers victims of all the abuses ask Mr. Richard Noll Gérald Evens, E. The Wyatts etc of well to want to take conscience while returning in contact with their lawyer or the workers themselves for a modus operandi in order strength liberer the merchandise. So, the safe, fast and reliable way à be one, it's à get the workers because they leave opened their door for Hanes. Distinguished greetings.

Mr. Richard Knoll, CEO

Hanesbrands Inc.
1000 East Hanes Mill Road
Winston Salem, NC 27105
USA

Date: Friday,Juanary 23,2008

Dear Mr. Knoll:

We write to you as representatives of workers from the CD Apparel factory in Por au Prince, Haiti at sonapi industrial park building # 31. As you know, on May 4, 2007, the Leaders of Hanesbrands ended their contract with CD Apparel S.A without sufficient warning throwing into jeopardy the livelihoods of over 500 workers and their families.The abusing cancellation and illegal closure of CD Apparel’s Plant by the responsibles of Hanes violates Haitian labor law which requires an employer to give workers twelves months for damages without forgetting twenty months that the workers are getting to demand from Hanes “ Compensation and repair” cause, after the brutal closure of CD Apparel on may 4, 2007 the workwers can not work and can not support their families in their socio-economic situation very very difficult.. The workers are also owed their severance pay and benefits for twenty months remain unpaid from may 2007 to date. We request that Hanesbrand work with CD Apparel S.A to reach an agreement that will pay workers their severance and benefit pay include their compensation according to the code of conduct and the international legislation for work demanding Hanes’s responsibles to do it for any Plant in any country as they done it for D.R, PUERTO-RICO, CANADA, MEXICO AND U.S.A, once cancelled their Plant.Note that the CD Apparel’s workers: from May 4, 2007 to date are considered as current employees for Hanes and the contractor or owner of this Plant ,everyday they are standing to CD Apparel’s gate to demand their due.

For close to four years, over 500 workers produced T-shirts for Hanesbrands. During this period, we were commended for the high quality of our work and production levels. As a corporation whose Code of Conduct promotes workers rights, we are dismayed by your corporation’s lack of response to workers in Haiti and its violation of its own principles. Without our high quality work, Hanesbrands would not have remained as profitable as it did for 4 years.It’s for that CD Apparel’s Plant has been in the Caribbean the number one for Hanes about production and quality.

Given the socio- economic reality of Haiti, the illegal closure of CD Apparel, the defiance of Haitian law and the violation of worker rights reflect a direct violation of your Code of Conduct and international labor rights. We request a meeting with you to discuss the severance owed to CD Apparel’s workers and a resolution of the illegal closing.
We look forward to your response and an immediate resolution to this case

Sincerely yours !

From the committee of CD Apparel!!!

To Mr. Jorge Perez Lopez,

President of FLA (Fair Labor Association)
Dear Perez, by the special present we write you as representatives of the Haitian victim workers from Cd Apparel S.A in the Sonapi, industrial park of the Port-au-Prince Bldg # 31. As you already know on May 04, 2007 the Leaders of Hanes brands INC with the complicity of the Haitian employers ended their contract with the Cd Apparel’s Plant without any warning throwing into jeopardy the livelihoods of 500 poor’s workers and their families join with the worst tragedy of the Haitian people caused by the Earthquake taken place on January 12 , 2010 that which get worse the economic and social situation of the workers. Note that the illegal closure of our plant violates the Haitian labor law requires an employer to give damages and full compensation to the victim workers because this injustice impede the international social legislation on work which demand you as defender of the human rights to fix your position so that a solution can be done. For the truth and the history, we’re paid to tell you Mr. Lopez that we keep for Hanes by the law 420.000 pieces of T-shirts without forgetting a lot of materials finishing goods at Sonapi Bldg #31 ( six containers ) we please you to let us know your position on this case and your staff one ??? Of more, you had informed the committee of Cd Apparel on a declaration from Hanes pretending that all the victim of this Plant got already obtained “Full Compensation” but without any proof on this lie! For the knowledge of Humanity, we want to declare that the workers did not receive any compensation and damages from an employer in Haiti explaining the critical situation of the victims after the brutal earthquake … To make light on this case we need have a copy of the payroll’s file (doc of payroll) showing how many employees who have been paid? When? The sum for each one of them? In what currency? Like this the truth should be at the main of the international public opinion and demand to the leaders of Hanes to compensate and repair the poor Haitian workers after 4 years of excellent services for their profit and the one of Cd Apparel’s employer but nothing for the victims: What injustice!!!
We look forward to your response for an immediately resolution to this case.
