The company was the subject of a campaign by the Maquila Solidarity Network from 2003 to 2005; after two reviews, the MSN was satisfied with the progress of Gildan's Honduras factories and did not request further action on their part (http://www.maquilasolidarity.org/campaigns/gildan/index.htm).

The Maquila Solidarity Network (MSN) describes itself as: A Canadian network promoting solidarity with groups in Mexico, Central America, Africa, and Asia organizing in maquiladora factories and export processing zones to improve conditions and win a living wage. ...
Gildan’s decision to cut and run from the factory in the midst of negotiations on corrective action is totally unacceptable and a clear violation of the FLA’s corporate membership requirements.
MSN is demanding that Gildan reverse its decision to close the factory and fully implement all recommendations for corrective action being requested by the FLA and WRC as a result of their investigations.
Gildan spokespeople have also made a variety of statements concerning the alleged problem of blocked access to the free trade zone where the factory is located.
