ASICS has been standing by idly while one of its suppliers in Cambodia jailed a worker leader on fake charges & refused to compensate him or let him back to his original job. The one promise they made, that he would get his old job back, was broken immediately. cleanclothes.org/news/2025/as...

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

📰NEWS We have @ec.europa.eu's answer to watchdog's inquiry into undemocratic Omnibus process 🗨️"Stripping back accountability rules at a time of climate & social crises is indefensible, it puts corporate profits above people’s rights & EU’s climate objectives" corporatejustice.org/news/joint-p...

Debenhams faces shareholder revolt over executives' pay and bonuses. Meanwhile, it is kicking 1200 workers on the street, or around 3% of jobs in Burnley: www.burnleyexpress.net/business/bur...

"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

Two recent cases in Myanmar and Cambodia highlight a chilling trend of suppliers using criminalization to silence labor rights defenders in the region.

Today, our partners Home Based Women Workers Federation and NTUF and the Ali Enterprises Factory Fire Affectees Association commemorate those who died in the horrible fire in Karachi, Pakistan, 13 years ago. Let the world never forget!

After scandalously closing their wholly owned & only unionised factory in Sri Lanka & forcing workers to resign, Next now is stopping payments of 16 workers who refused to resign & therefore are still employed. In case one thought things couldn't get more outrageous: cleanclothes.org/news/2025/ne...

Does this industry need a complete revolution? Absolutely. Will that come about by effectively putting a gun to the head of workers in global south countries? Not in the least www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

ASICS seems to think it is OK to jail a worker for starting a union & that it can get away with not compensating that worker for violating his basic rights. To add insult to injury he is now forced to work in an outbuilding, away from other workers. Read more: cleanclothes.org/news/2025/as...

Workers who made clothes for Victoria's Secret, Lane Bryant, Huber and Triumph have been fighting for the 7.6 million USD they are owed for over five years now. When these brands finally ensure these workers are paid, by paying themselves or ensuring the business owner, Robert Ng, compensates them?

"In most cases, when factories close without paying severance, the owner is bankrupt, missing, or out of the industry. None of that is true here.” The case of the Body Fashion workers and the wealthy businessman Robert Ng who refuses to pay them what they are owed. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

ASICS seems to think it's fine to jail a worker for 6 months just for organising. Chea Chan, a union leader at Wing Star Cambodia, is "back at work" - he's made to work in an outbuilding away from other workers. ASICS didn't compensate him for his plight & let this violation of basic rights persist.

This is starting in 15 mins. The livestream will remain available after to watch back. We need justice for the former Body Fashion workers.

NEW: Amazon makes huge profits from selling clothes made by workers it fails to protect in its supply chain, finds a new Labour Behind the Label report. It's time to #MakeAmazonPay.

One year ago, students and other protesters managed to oust the ruling leader Sheikh Hasina. Today, we remember the many people who were killed in the movement for change by the ruthless repression by the Hasina government. Since then, an interim government is at work to build a new Bangladesh.

🪙US President Donald Trump's latest round of tariffs mean more profits for US corporations - and pain for workers in the Global South. In Cambodia alone, Trump's tariffs could force 150,000 garment workers out of a job. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

WhileNext continue to outperform their own forecasts, they nevertheless cite unprofitability when sacking over 1400 of their own workers! The math is simply not math-ing! labourbehindthelabel.org/next-stop-ki...

How are we all allowing that those who already have the least are again made to pay for shit happening elsewhere? The tariff war is no different from the pandemic or any other crisis, eventually the price is paid by workers instead of those with money & power. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

No, luxury clothes aren't made in better conditions! “Luxury is based on a production system founded on cost reduction, profit maximisation & opaque supply chains based on subcontracting, which often employ immigrant workers who have no protection and contracts.” www.theguardian.com/fashion/2025...

Climate Rights International's report paints a distressing portrait of what it describes as a crisis "unfolding at the intersection of climate change and labor exploitation."

Excited for the European Women's Football Finale? The same brands that sponsor the kits & are vocal about women empowerment profit from the exploitation of women in their supply chain.

With laws that have the chance to improve the lives of millions of workers worldwide, we must ensure they aren’t weakened in a push for deregulation.

We, and EU watchdog want to know: 🚨Why didn’t the EU Commission follow its own processes in the simplification proposal for EU sustainability rules for businesses?

EU Ombudswoman Anjinho has requested urgent explanations from the EU Commission following our complaint on the undemocratic process used to prepare the Omnibus proposal. ➡Why was there no impact assessment? ➡Why was there no public consultation? ➡Why was there no climate consistency assessment?
