#PayYourWorkers<br />
Our research published in August shows that in some countries<br />
workers received less than 25% of their regular wages in April and<br />
workers globally may have an estimated shortfall of income between 3.2<br />
and 5.8 billion USD during the first three months of the pandemic.<br />
Apparel brands and retailers need to do two things to<br />
ensure the workers who make their clothes are paid<br />
during and beyond this crisis:<br />
1. #PayUp in full on orders placed before the pandemic.<br />
2. #PayYourWorkers : Make sure all workers are paid<br />
their regular income during the pandemic by committing<br />
to the wage assurance and joining a severance guarantee<br />
fund.
