covid-<strong>19</strong> strikes everywhere<br />

Tamru, 22 years old, who works<br />

at the same The Children's Place<br />

supplier used to make 27 USD a<br />

month, working nine hours a day,<br />

six days a week. Since orders<br />

were cut, the company stopped<br />

supplying buses to transport<br />

workers to the factories, and his<br />

wages have been cut in half.<br />

Via The Guardian<br />

“I can’t eat whenever I<br />

want to eat,” he said. “I<br />

sometimes skip dinner. I<br />

walk from home to work<br />

every day because the<br />

factory has stopped<br />

providing transport<br />

service and I can’t afford<br />

to pay for a bus. My work<br />

is so exhausting, I never<br />

sit, and the pay is very<br />

small to cover my<br />

expenses.”
