FIRESTONE: THE MARK OF SLAVERY
This document is the result of an inquiry into the Firestone Rubber Plantation Company's 69yrs of operation. It is published in fulfillment of SAMFU's mission to protect the environment, facilitate nature conservation that embraces the promotion of social justice, equality and respect for human rights.
This report mirrors the activities of one of the oldest companies in Liberia, Firestone, which was established in 1926. The report raises three issues human rights abuses, unfair labor practices and environmental pollution.

Thanks for spreading the word about Firestone! There is currently a global campaign called Stop Firestone which is working to hold the company accountable for its use of child labor, abuse of workers rights and destruction of the environment in Liberia. You can find out a lot more at www.stopfirestone.org. You can also send a letter to support the Firestone workers' right to organize here: http://www.unionvoice.org/campaign/firestonestrike. Thanks again!
