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

Competition was meant to improve conditions, products and prices. Instead, we seem on course for all brands to ultimately end up as one and all sharing the same dodgy practices. The only solution is building worker power! finance.yahoo.com/news/shein-o...

👗The top 10 fast fashion brands raked in $13.9 billion in profit in 2024 - while paying the workers who make their clothes poverty wages. We're at London Fashion Week today to say: tax extreme wealth. Pay living wages now. #BillionairesOut #LivingWageNow

Sink the yachts, raise the wages! We're at London Fashion Week calling for an end to poverty wages. While workers starve, the top 10 fast fashion brands raked in $13.9 billion in profit in 2024. Tax extreme wealth. Pay living wages. Abolish billionaires. #BillionairesOut #LivingWageNow

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!

Globally, our movement is in peril: from global capital, anti-union legislation, poverty wages to economic warfare. Yet this year, the National Garment Workers Federation in Bangladesh welcomed 8 newly registered unions! Honoured to stand with powerful worker organisers ✊ @cleanclothes.bsky.social

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...

We proudly stand with our trade union siblings in Cambodia and we say, this is not an ask but an urgent demand for the survival of workers: decent wages now! www.yahoo.com/news/article...

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...

Iconic moment at the Downton Abbey premiere

Solidarity with the Debenhams (Boohoo) workers who may be about to lose their jobs. We've sadly seen this before. Across supply chains workers are underpaid, undervalued and treated as disposable by fashion brands. Debenhams must urgently engage with @usdawunion.bsky.social and save these jobs.

Garment workers deserve more! Workers in Cambodia have to spend almost twice what they earn just to survive. This is not a request but an urgent necessity. Raise the wages. Full statement: cambodianess.com/article/civi... cambodianess.com/article/civi...

"... the systemic nature of issues such as modern slavery, and other issues like climate change, may actually be leveraged as a way to avoid doing their part to address them. System issues are all-hands-on-deck issues. Everyone needs to be doing their part." theconversation.com/how-business...

A long read on tariffs, but one that omits the key stakeholder: workers. It is workers who will ultimately pay the price for trade wars. edition.cnn.com/2025/08/11/b...

We can't afford billionaires. We can't afford extreme wealth. But we CAN afford living wages and a good life for all workers. So we're joining @makethempay.bsky.social with the Billionaires Out of Fashion bloc. Join us!

As India-based suppliers shift and diversify production hit by Trump's tariffs, garment workers on the ground don't have the same luxury. The jobs will go, and so will their meagre wages - this is the true price of Trump's trade wars: www.msn.com/en-us/money/...

An interesting example of trying to quantify job losses from expanded e-retail by the likes of Shein and Temu: www.newsghana.com.gh/shein-and-te...

Warehouse and distribution workers are already some of the most exploited workers in the UK and unionising is notoriously difficult in the industry. Turning people's home into storage space for giant brands like Shein is not a side hussle, it's exploitation: www.yahoo.com/news/article...

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...

Trump's attack on Global South countries impacts those least able to shoulder the cost. "If they charge a high tariff, it is only workers who are going to suffer," said the mother-of-three who earns only $300 a month. www.france24.com/en/live-news...

"For the past few months, everyone is talking about cuts," said Bala, 32. "Whenever anyone visits the factory, my chest aches. I feel like they've come to tell me I've lost my job." ca.news.yahoo.com/us-tariffs-j...

“If an Amazon worker would have behaved this way towards Amazon management, they would have already been fired three times over,” said UNI Europa Regional Secretary Oliver Roethig, in a letter addressed to MEPs on Wednesday.

Yet another 'green' pledge from H&M we see: www.mynewsdesk.com/hmfoundation...

Today we remember the brutal murder of trade union activist Shahidul Islam. Shahidul Islam was murdered two years ago today outside the Prince Jacquard Sweater factory in Bangladesh, fighting for fair pay.
