On May Day, GLJ + Coalition on Labor Justice for Migrants in the Gulf echoes the UN’s call for justice for migrant workers in Saudi Arabia. We support the fight for fundamental labor rights across the region. ✊🏾https://bit.ly/4cStVEL w/ @equidem.bsky.social @antislavery.org @idwfed.bsky.social

GLJ marched in Washington DC today to mark May Day and demand a world that works for working people!

Today, GLJ, ‪@idwfed.bsky.social‬, WIEGO & Working Horizons released  "A Feminist Labour Justice Agenda in a Time of Crisis." #MayDay is a call not only to defend rights, but to build the collective power that is necessary to redefine justice in our own terms. globallaborjustice.org/news/a-femin...

Pushpalatha was a garment worker @ a Brandix factory in Sri Lanka, sewing for brands like Victoria's Secret– on Oct 10, 2025, she went to work & never came home. Victoria's Secret profits from women's labor. They can afford to protect it @afwa.bsky.social #JusticeforPushpa #ViolenceOutofFashion

Migrant fishers from Taiwan joined the Massachusetts labor community to call for enforceable protections for the distant-water fishers who supply tuna to American dinner tables.

GLJ, CLUW, SEIU 1199 & TWU Local 100 delivered a letter to Victoria's Secret from Asian unions in @afwa.bsky.social: It's time for Victoria's Secret to stop ignoring calls demanding #JusticeForPushpa & no more deaths or Gender-Based Violence & Harassment in Brandix factories that make their products

Tonight at 4:30 pm in Boston, fishers & labor supporters will hold a rally and vigil—not just to mourn, but to demand change from the seafood industry to protect the lives and fundamental labor rights of fishers.

[COMMENTARY] A new op-ed argues ocean conservation and crew welfare are inseparable. With weak protections for migrant fishers, the author says expecting compliance with fisheries laws is unrealistic. ** Views are author's.

We call for immediate action by home & destination country governments, employers & international institutions to safeguard the rights of migrant workers in all countries affected by the conflict. 1/2 bit.ly/4lmX52T @antislavery.org @equidem.bsky.social @ituc.bsky.social @idwfed.bsky.social

Big win for workers! Together with IndustriALL Global Union we have renewed the Pakistan Accord with brands — ensuring binding health & safety protections for 1,000s of textile & garment workers in Pakistan https://uniglobalunion.org/news/pakistan-accord-renewal-protects-textile-and-garment-workers/

Not a clothing label and maybe a little busy, but still my favourite label *in* my clothing.

In 2025 our @inequality.org team published commentaries by diverse workers, incl @jazbrisack.bsky.social and folks from @moworkers.org, @globallaborjustice.bsky.social, @teamsters.bsky.social & many more. Ck out the highlights here: inequality.org/article/what...

Good luck to our NHLPA, @pwhlpa.bsky.social and @PHPA union siblings as they compete at the 2026 Winter Olympic Games in Italy! #BetterInAUnion

Allies have come together across the world to mourn Pushpalatha, a Sri Lankan garment worker at a Brandix factory & to demand justice for her death. Fashion brands like Victorias Secret must take responsibility to ensure women workers are safe in the factories that make their products.

Workers who are organizing together in the Asia Floor Wage Alliance have been saying for years that Nike needs to raise wages. A new investigation by @propublica.org @oregonian.com shows that Nike's claims about wages don't stand up to scrutiny.

We published something on anxiety.eco today that doesn't really exist anywhere else: a comprehensive list of fashion's billionaires, tracking their estimated $1.5 trillion in net worth against the earnings of garment workers in the industry's supply chain. The list: www.anxiety.eco/p/the-ultra-...

Our partners at the Caesar Apparels (Extension) Workers’ Union formed a union that includes nearly 100% of their garment factory's workers, even in the most difficult of circumstances. What an inspiration! 👏🏽 #WorkerRights #Solidarity #1u

🎉 As we welcome 2026, GLJ reaffirms its commitment to dignity, justice, and labor rights for workers throughout the global supply chain. We wish you and your family a Happy New Year. To support our work: laborrights.app.neoncrm.com/forms/donate...

Our latest Photo of the Week is a bit different. Last week 1500 garment workers were made homeless when the Korail 'slum' in the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka, was devastated by a fire. The National Garment Workers Federation is raising money to provide for their immediate needs. (Photo: NGWF)

This week, labor activists + community members gathered at the Triangle Shirtwaist Memorial to honor the life of Paramasivam Pushpalatha, a Sri Lankan garment worker who died on October 10th after her manager at a Brandix factory refused to release her to seek medical treatment. #JusticeforPushpa

💪 NYC labor stands in solidarity with Nike supply chain workers. Members of the @nyclabor.bsky.social & CLUW showed up at the Women in Retail Leadership Conference featuring Nike board member, Michelle Peluso. They demanded she meet with the union women workers who make Nike clothes. 📣

🤝 We stand in solidarity with our garment worker sisters across Asia, who are bravely leading organizing and campaigning efforts for living wages and rights protections ✊🏾 ⚠️ It’s time for @Nike to value the women who power its supply chain and deserve nothing less than dignity and justice ⚖️

“Companies shouldn’t be let off the hook for using #forcedlabor just because” the buyer rejects the goods, said @globallaborjustice.bsky.social's Allison Gill. When forced labor has already occurred, all perpetrators should be held accountable. @bloomberglaw.com news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-...

Social media boost! Nike garment workers were in town last month to confront the corporation about low wages and conditions in the supply chain. Workers made this video before they left town! Can we get 5 Portland-area folks to share it?
