The U.S. in Haiti - Institute for Global Labour and Human Rights

Research for this report was sponsored by the National Labor Committee and conducted principally by Eric Verhoogen, a labor researcher who travelled to Haiti in August, 1995. The NLC wishes to thank Eric as well as the following people:
Gesner Jean-Philippe, Denise Confident of Libè¨te, Max Blanchet of the Bay Area Haitian-American Council, Michelle Karshan, Foreign Press Liaison for President Aristide, the dedicated activists at Antenn Ouvriye and Haiti Info, Laurie Richardson of the Mouvman Peyizan Papay Education and Development Fund (MPP-EDF), Ellen Braune of New Channels Communications, Catherine Maternowska of the Lambi Fund and, above all, the brave workers who spoke to us in Port-au-Prince who must, because of the potential for repression that is still present in Haiti, remain anonymous. Their strength and courage leads the way for all of us.
The NLC also wishes to thank the Union of Needletrades, Industrial and Textile Employees (UNITE) for assistance in the publication of the report, and Keir Jorgensen of UNITE's research department for his help in collecting data included in the report.
In addition to labor union support, the NLC received grants from the Unitarian Universalist Veatch Program and ARCA Foundations to carry out the research, writing, and publication of this report.
