COVID-19 Snapshots

#PayYourWorkers<br />
The #PayUp campaign has swayed over twenty brands to commit to<br />
paying for their orders that were in production at the start of the<br />
pandemic. Many of these brands retreated from the order<br />
cancellations they had initially imposed on their suppliers, meaning<br />
that workers could at least be paid some of what they were owed.<br />
It's time for brands to take the next step. We have asked them kindly<br />
since June. What are brands waiting for? Workers can't wait.<br />
H&M, Primark, and Nike, the brands featured in this report, are some<br />
of the most regularly named supply chains when workers raise their<br />
voice about not being paid or facing dismissal. Workers also name<br />
many other apparel brands and retailers that have left workers unpaid<br />
in their supply chains, including Bestseller (Jack & Jones), Next,<br />
Arcadia (Topshop) and Inditex (Zara).<br />
To hold brands accountable, we all need to show that it is unacceptable<br />
that workers are left unpaid during the pandemic. It's time for action.
