Protecting Collective Bargaining – Freedom of Association

We support the rights of workers to associate and bargain collectively. We’ve also instituted training programs to educate business partners on the rights of employees to associate and bargain collectively.

In 2012, we successfully negotiated with a seasonal worker union in Chile.  We worked with the union to implement a new collective bargaining agreement, which benefitted all of our seasonal workers in Chile equally, even though just a small portion of the workforce actually belongs to the union.
