In 2006, a group of civil society organisations published a report about Dole and their suppliers in Latin America...[which] uncovered violations of trade union freedom and workers’ rights in the plantations that produce Dole bananas... Three years on, it is time to assess the progress made..., but also to consider the numerous issues that remain unresolved... This is the purpose of this document...[which] is based on contributions from plantation workers and their trade unions in banana producing countries. [also refers to Standard Fruit (part of Dole), Dole-Ubesa (part of Dole), Compagnie Fruitière, Acon Group]
