New ExChains project newsletter is out

The ExChains newsletter contains info about current struggles and campaigns of workers along the global supply chain in textile, garment, and retail.
Due to current events, the latest issue of the ExCHAINS newsletter is focused on the developments in Bangladesh's garment industry from spring to summer 2010.
