Kurzbeschreibung:

Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, garment workers around the world have been left unpaid or underpaid, causing a wage gap between what they received and what they are owed. This report from August 2020 estimates for seven countries the wage losses that workers have suffered and urges brands, retailers and e-tailers to commit to a wage assurance to make sure workers are made whole.

Kurzbeschreibung:
Selbstdarstellung: We have launched this tool for FWF members and everyone involved in trying to make living wages a reality for garment workers. This Portal is designed to grow.
FWF tackles living wages by asking: Why are consumers unable to buy ‘living wage garments’? And what is happening in this market to block what seems like a pretty simple ask?
At FWF, we methodically analyse and unpack the obstacles that have blocked progress on living wages for many years – from lack of collective bargaining and structural issues in supply chains to questions of cost and anti-trust concerns raised by companies.  And our work continues. We will keep adding posts to this Portal as FWF makes progress on this topic – and as our partners also take strides in this area.
FWF is most interested in sharing examples of efforts by brands, factories, trade unions, business associations and various workers groups to develop ‘real-life examples’ of working towards living wages.
