Honduras - EPZ union leader receives death threats

In February 2018, Lino Hernández, leader of SitraStar (Sindicato de Trabajadores de Star), which represents employees at the EPZ owned by multinational Gildan, resigned from his post and from the union after he and his family received death threats and suffered acts of intimidation. Lino Hernández had been fighting for labour rights and the negotiation of a collective agreement at Gildan’s factories.
