COVID-19 Snapshots
Millions of workers in garment supply chains world-wide have not been paid their full wages during the pandemic or have lost their jobs without adequate financial compensation. We call upon brands to take responsibility for the workers that make their clothes and ensure that workers are paid what they are owed. Read more about how workers in global supply chains, especially those of H&M, Primark, and Nike, have been affected in the livelihood by the pandemic and join us in asking brands: Do you #PayYourWorkers?

In April and May, workers in Bangladesh took to the streets and<br />
blocked highways to protest the government's decision that factories<br />
would have to pay workers only 60-65% of their wages.<br />
On 9 and 10 May, around 4,000 workers from Primark suppliers Doreen<br />
Apparels Ltd and Doreen Garments Ltd factories in Dhaka, blocked a<br />
highway demanding their full April wage. Workers urged that the<br />
factories reopen, after they were closed for an indefinite period,<br />
hoping that that would mean they could earn their full salaries again.<br />
The workers withdrew when management assured that the factories<br />
would open soon.
