ASIA: Workers Who Make Black Friday Deals Possible Face Attacks on Right to Organize truthout.org/articles/wor...

In @amnesty.org's Stitched-Up report the establishment of a union & collective bargaining agreement in a Sri Lankan NEXT factory is described as a hard won workers' success. Yet in May 2025 the factory suddenly closed without consulting the union or respecting the agreement. We see union busting!

Human rights abuse is rife in South Asia’s garment industry, as @amnesty.org's🆕reports shows. To stop the abuse, tick-box audits of factory conditions aren't enough. We need: ✔Supply-chain transparency ✔Published audits ✔Sourcing practices that centre workers' rights www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

A new @amnesty.org report shows that garment brands around the world prof from the repression of workers' right to unionise. Well known brands overwhelmingly source from factories without unions. Brands who still wonder why this is a problem must urgently read this: www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

This week a horrible fire shook Bangladesh. The fire started in a chemical warehouse and spread to a garment factory and printing facilities, trapping workers with no way out. Most facilities were unregistered making it hard to identify relationships with international brands. This must change 👇

A horrific fire ripped through a building in Dhaka yesterday killing at least 16 people. The building housed garment industry related facilities & a chemical unit. Our thoughts are with all affected by the tragedy, especially families who lost loved ones. www.thedailystar.net/news/banglad...

We are pleased to report that Lucky Brand has made a humanitarian contribution of $500,000 to assist garment workers at the Industrial Hana factory in Guatemala, which was, prior to its closure, a subcontractor for one of Lucky Brand’s direct apparel suppliers. www.workersrights.org/commentary/l...

We joined @cleanclothes.bsky.social, Katalyst Initiative & @solidaritycenter.bsky.social at #ClimateWeekNY for “Too Hot To Fashion”, a panel on what a #JustTransition means for garment workers. Fair purchasing & living wages are key to tackling fashion’s climate impact. #LaborRights

Excellent news!! An important reminder that workers need the pay and severance they have built up after a factory closes and that brands are responsible for unpaid workers in their supply chain. #PayYourWorkers

Obscene wealth at the top, a life of poverty for the rest. We won't take it anymore! For international Living Wage Day our call is simple: 📢 Tax the rich, not the poor. 💰 Living wage, that's the cure. @cleanclothes.bsky.social 📸 Kim Ford @kimfordphotos

And of course this is the tip of the iceberg when we look at heat risk across the world, especially in major production countries for the garment industry. We are in a crisis but we know the solutions. What's missing is the will from the top!

Long marches have a moral & political tradition. This march pays honour to what is at stake due to the deregulation agenda: ✳️Weakened access to justice for victims of corporate abuse ✳️Weakened oversight of corporate negligence ✳️Increased vulnerability to climate & envi risks

"What should human rights activists do when the nation state-led human rights order is eroding?" One tentative answer is that the human right community needs to rely on each other more. Individual wellbeing matters, and we should level our game to collective resilience. #UNRBHR2025
